An expansion project for the Cardston Alberta Temple as begun in 1955, and finished up the next year. Previously, the entrance to the temple had been effectively underground, and was surrounded on both sides by a retaining wall that terraced the hill around the temple’s base. This terrace was excavated, enclosed, and everything inside the retaining wall was added to the temple.
