Alberta Temple, Latter Day Saints

A striking building dominating Canada’s first Mormon settlement, the Alberta Temple is an architectural and historical monument of national significance. Designed in 1912 by architects Pope and Burton of Salt Lake City, its geometrical composition of white granite blends ancient and modern themes-Mayan-Aztec with Frank Lloyd Wright. The interior is richly embellished with finely crafted woodwork, mural paintings and furnishings. The temple was meticulously restored and enlarged in 1991, and designated by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada in 1992.
