The Anchorage Alaska Temple, 2004

The Anchorage Alaska Temple was expanded just a few short years after dedication. The expansion added another Endowment Room, and a second Sealing Room. Because the temple had initially been built upon a small hillock, the expansion took the form of 2 stories. This expansion gave it a unique, asymmetrical look, and wrapped the temple around a small courtyard. After completion of the expansion, the temple was rededicated by President Gordon B. Hinckley.
