History of the Salt Lake Temple
The Salt Lake City Temple was announced for construction in 1847 and is located in the heart of Salt Lake City. While being one of the most well-known and recognized temples, it was, in fact, only the fourth temple to be built in Utah. However, it was the first temple to feature a statue of the angel Moroni on its spire although the original design planned for two statues. Due to its ornate design, the temple took nearly forty years to complete. The walls of the temple are roughly nine feet thick with a six feet thick foundation.
