Logan Utah Temple

The Logan Utah Temple (formerly the Logan Temple) is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was completed in 1884 and is the fourth temple built by the church. Located in the city of Logan, Utah, it was the second temple in Utah, after the St. George Temple. It was built on

a 9-acre (3.6 ha) plot selected by church president Brigham Young. The temple was announced on October 6, 1876, by Young during the church's general conference. The Salt Lake Temple had been announced in 1847, but construction was still underway and would not be completed until 1893, so the Logan and St. George temples were built to satisfy the church's need for temples. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on May 18, 1877, conducted by Orson Pratt with John W. Young breaking the ground. The temple has a castellated exterior, a style it shares with the Manti Utah Temple. The Logan Temple was crafted by head church architect Truman O. Angell, using a blend of Gothic Revival architecture with a French Renaissance style.
