History of the Idaho Falls Temple
The Idaho Falls Temple was the first temple to be built in the state and sits nearby a prominent waterfall feature for which the temple is named. The temple itself was constructed from reinforced concrete and was dedicated in October of 1940. The grounds initially included a number of reflection ponds that housed smaller fish as well as water lilies; however, these ponds were changed into flower beds. This temple was actually the first temple to include a central spire in its design and while digging for the foundation, lava rock was discovered beneath which made for an ideal foundation for the basement.
