A View from Temple to Temple in Anchorage, Alaska

A recent photograph of the Anchorage Alaska Temple captures the new structure from the vantage point of the original building, which remains in operation, allowing temple work to continue uninterrupted. The tower is currently enclosed in protective tenting as the final stages of exterior cladding are completed, while interior finish work progresses steadily inside. Following the dedication of the new temple, the original building will be removed to make way for the construction of a new meetinghouse on the property.

Extensive Renovations Progressing at the Orlando Florida Temple

For nearly two decades, the Orlando Florida Temple stood as the only Latter-day Saint temple in the Sunshine State. In 2014, a second temple was dedicated in Fort Lauderdale. A decade later, the Orlando temple closed for major renovation just months before a third temple was dedicated in the state capital of Tallahassee. Today, two additional temples are under construction in Tampa and Jacksonville, while many months of renovation work still lie ahead for the Orlando Temple.
