The Logan Utah Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The second temple completed in Utah. The Logan Temple and the Manti Temple are near twins. Along with the Vernal Temple, they are the only temples with two towers. The Logan temple is unique in that it is the only temple to be completely gutted and rebuilt, only the outer walls are original. President Spencer W. Kimball, who oversaw the rebuilding, later said he regretted having the interior completely demolished because of the pioneer craftsmanship that was destroyed.

The cornerstone was laid in September 1877.

The Logan Temple serves stakes in northern Utah and southeastern Idaho.
