Provo Utah Temple Pictures

The Provo Temple was one of the most-used and most-loved temples in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — a bold modernist landmark at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains along Brigham Young University’s east bench, serving Utah County for over 50 years. Announced alongside the Ogden Utah Temple in response to overwhelming demand, it was dedicated February 9, 1972, and operated continuously until February 2024. The temple is currently closed and being completely rebuilt as the much larger Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple. Our collection of Provo Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings preserves the beloved original building in a range of styles and sizes.

About the Provo Utah Temple

Announced on August 14, 1967 by President David O. McKay — along with the Ogden Utah Temple, both prompted by the discovery that 52 percent of all endowment work in the Church was being performed in just three temples — the Provo Temple was groundbroken on September 15, 1969, presided over by Elder Hugh B. Brown. It was dedicated on February 9, 1972 by President Joseph Fielding Smith in what was the largest temple dedication in Church history at the time: more than 70,000 members attended across the temple itself and five BYU campus venues simultaneously, including the Marriott Center, George Albert Smith Fieldhouse, Joseph Smith Building, Harris Fine Arts Center, and Knight-Mangum Hall. The 246,000 people who toured the open house just weeks before remain one of the highest open house attendance totals in Church history. The flat-roofed, concrete modernist design was nearly identical to its Ogden counterpart — both were innovative for their era, designed for maximum capacity and efficiency rather than traditional temple aesthetics.

The Provo Temple quickly became one of the busiest in the Church, a reflection of the dense and faithful Latter-day Saint population of Utah County. The original design did not include an Angel Moroni statue — but that changed in 2003 when a renovation project added the statue to the spire. The temple operated for 52 years until its final day of regular use on February 24, 2024, with members packing the building during its last week of operation. In October 2021, President Russell M. Nelson had announced that the Provo Temple would be completely demolished and rebuilt as a larger, substantially redesigned structure on the same property. The new building — named the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple — is under construction and will be one of the largest temples in the Church when complete, with 163,000 square feet, six instruction rooms, eight sealing rooms, and two baptistries.
