History of the Portland Temple
The Portland Oregon Temple has six spires and four domes and was constructed with white Vermont marble. The floorplan for this temple was adapted from the Las Vegas, Nevada Temple. It was the first temple built in Oregon. The land the temple sits on was originally bought for a junior college the Church wanted to build and is only eight miles south from downtown and hosts an infinity pool with a fountain. The Portland Oregon Temple is also one of the temples to have a reproduction of Thorvaldsen’s Christus.
