    Two photograph exhibits at the Rio Gallery vividly reveal the craftsmanship of Utah's architects and builders. The exhibits also demonstrate the breadth of Utah's built environment by showing both pioneer-era houses and modernist buildings. Photographer George Edward Anderson traveled throughout central Utah during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During his travels he shot portraits of families outside their homes and also took general 'environmental portraits.' Architect Peter Goss has returned to many of those places and rephotographed them. His exhibit of both the original and contemporary photographs provides a look at change and continuity over the last century. Photographs of John Sugden's modernist buildings complement the images of older buildings. Sugden studied under the famed architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and built schools, houses, and commercial projects in Utah in the mid-20th century. His work includes some of the earliest recognizable modernist architecture in the state. Kirk Huffaker, executive director of the Utah Heritage Foundation, photographed his work and created the exhibit.
