The Denver Colorado Temple

of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

After the twelve nearly identical six spired temples, the Denver Temple is a refreshing return to unique temple design. The residents of the neighborhood where the temple was going to be built felt that the six spired design was too radical. So, the church redesigned the temple based on the Atlanta Temple plans, but with several exterior changes. This became the new system for temple design, a few standard plans, but with significant exterior differences.

The temple was announced in March 1982.
Ground was broken and construction begun in May 1984.
The cornerstone was laid and the temple dedicated on 24-28 October 1986.
There are 5 Sealing rooms and 4 Ordinance rooms in the 29,117 square foot temple.
The spire is ? feet tall.
The Denver Temple serves stakes in most of Colorado, eastern Wyoming, western North Dakota, western South Dakota, and parts of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
