Redlands California Temple Pictures
The Redlands Temple occupies one of the most historically significant pieces of Church-owned land in California — the original landholdings of the San Bernardino colony, established in 1851 under the direction of Brigham Young, where a center block had been set aside for a future temple nearly 150 years before one was built there. The fifth temple built in California, first in the Inland Empire, and the 116th in the world, it was dedicated on September 14, 2003. Our collection of Redlands Temple pictures, art prints, and paintings captures this historically rich temple in a range of styles and sizes.

About the Redlands California Temple
Announced on April 25, 2001 — on the same day as the Newport Beach California Temple and Sacramento California Temple — and dedicated on September 14, 2003 by President Gordon B. Hinckley, the Redlands Temple is the 116th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the fifth built in California, and the first in the Inland Empire. The 16,898-square-foot temple sits on a 4.8-acre portion of the Church's original San Bernardino colony landholdings — established in 1851, when Brigham Young called 500 pioneer settlers to travel to Southern California and build a community in the fertile valley below the San Bernardino Mountains. In planning that original colony, a center block was designated for a future temple — no record exists of any serious effort to build it, as the Saints' stay in San Bernardino proved relatively short, but the prophetic designation of that land eventually found its fulfillment 152 years later when the Redlands Temple was dedicated there.
The site's history continued to reveal itself during construction: the East Redlands residential area where the temple stands was once covered in orange groves, and guests at the groundbreaking were served fresh orange juice pressed from trees removed during site preparation. Over 15,000 people donated rocks for the temple's rock-faced granite construction — Primary children among them — giving the building a literal community-sourced character. A treasured art glass panel behind the reception desk was rescued from a San Bernardino meetinghouse built in 1930, preserved by members after the property was sold, and brought to the temple when interior designer Greg Hill recognized it as a perfect lobby centerpiece. The temple currently serves 19 stakes throughout the Inland Empire.
Redlands Temple Photos, Art & Prints
The Redlands Temple's setting at the foot of the San Bernardino Mountains — with the distinctive granite peaks rising directly behind it and the Inland Valley spreading west — gives photographers a dramatic Southern California backdrop in the vivid light of the region. The surrounding residential landscape of mature citrus and ornamental trees, the crisp winter days when the mountains are snow-capped, and the warm golden light of Inland Empire sunsets all create beautiful photography conditions. Our collection features photography and fine art capturing the temple in the beauty of the San Bernardino Valley.
Redlands Temple prints make a meaningful and inspirational gift for members throughout the Inland Empire — and for anyone with a connection to this historically extraordinary temple built on pioneer covenant ground. Perfect for weddings, mission homecomings, new homes, and other milestone occasions.
