As construction has rapidly progressed in the last couple of months for Lima Peru Los Olivos Temple, I decided to take another crack at recreating the temple. I hope you enjoy it!
Updates and History
Moroni Faces East (Except When He Doesn’t) 2020 Update
With the slowdown in the use of the Angel Moroni Statues, I took the opportunity to update and correct my Info-graphic some. Check the link to see a low rez version of the info-graphic, and to find the download button for the full resolution image.
Historic Temple Video: Logan Utah Temple (1918-1948)
Well, as Logan goes, this is a fairly small change. The annex entry was extended, though the front look and door layout was extended, and a new wing was added off the back of the temple Annex. This particular layout to the temple would remain in place for the next 30 years, marking the longest single span of un-altered temple for Logan so far.

Historic Temple Video Series: Provo Utah Tabernacle [Provo City Center Temple] (1917-1950)
Not too long after the Provo Tabernacle was dedicated, the tall center tower caused the roof start to sag. This was due to there being no direct support for the tower, as the tower rested directly on the roof trusses, which in turn rested on the exterior walls.
The tower pedestal would stay atop the temple for another 30 or so years before being completely removed.
Historic Temple Videos: Logan Utah Temple (1915-1918)
Logan Utah Temple as it would have looked after an annex expansion in 1915. By this time, most of the pink colored ‘whitewash’ had weathered away, thought there is some evidence that the lower course remained white for some time. This model features a new entrance on the annex that would be expanded just a few short years later. Also of note is the towers that were a tan color for most of the first half of the 20th century.
Historic Temple Video Series: Salt Lake Temple (1911-1920)
This video reflects another minor change to the Salt Lake Temple, with the removal of the older Annex Entrance, and the addition of a newer, more expansive entrance. You will also notice the Hotel Utah, which was completed that same year.
Puebla Mexico Temple, 2nd Draft Video
Information learned since doing my first Puebla Video caused me to want to do another! Enjoy!
Note, it looks like I am having problems with my embeds again, so here is a second video link.
Historic Temple Video Series: Uintah Stake Tabernacle (1907)
Dedicated in 1907, the Uintah Stake Tabernacle in Vernal Utah would serve for about 40-50years before a new Stake Center made it unnecessary. The Church had plans to demolish the building, but local residents petitioned for it to be preserved. In the end the Church chose to make it a new temple instead.
This is, of course, my attempt to recreate the tabernacle as it would have looked than.
Historic Temple Video: Salt Lake Temple (1904-1911)
Today’s video is a 1904 update to the Salt Lake Temple. This particular video is the essence of nit-picky, as the whole reason it exists is a 18×8 foot vestibule added on to the front of the temple annex. I only learned of this addition last month, and just in time to work it into the Historic Temple video line-up. The following changes have occurred on temple square since the last Salt Lake Temple video was posted:
- New vestibule/entry on the annex,
- Conservatory (greenhouse) completed
- Old Greenhouse (remains of Endowment house) removed
- New greenhouse built in North West Corner
- Bureau of Information constructed on south lot (octagonal building)
- Temple is a darker gray, due to soot fouling from the Boiler House
- Taller Chimney on boiler house in unsuccessful attempt to reduce soot fouling
