The First Presidency of the day, Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, and Frederick G. Williams, reported receiving the design by vision in 1833, and the plan called for an interior 55 feet wide by 65 feet long. The walls are locally quarried sandstone laid as rubble masonry, finished in stucco and scored to imitate cut coursed stone. Roughly 15,000 square feet across three levels. The exterior follows the New England Protestant meetinghouse form with Federal and Gothic elements: lancet windows along the sides, ten small dormers lighting the attic story, and a bell tower over the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"temple-facts__block\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch4\u003eConstruction Story\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"temple-facts__list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe walls were supposed to be brick. Frederick G. Williams supervised brick production from April to September 1833, but the crews had no experience and the bricks were unusable. The effort was abandoned by mid-September, leaving a finished stone foundation with nothing to build on top of it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fix came from Artemus Millet, a Canadian convert with experience on mills, chimneys, and foundations, who reached Kirtland in late October 1833. Noting how much sandstone the local quarries held, he proposed rubble masonry walls under a stucco finish, which is how the temple was actually built. Most retellings credit Brigham Young with recruiting him. Millet's own reminiscence and Hyrum Smith's papers say the written request came from Hyrum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZion's Camp emptied the site in the summer of 1834. Heber C.

Asked by his mother where he was going with it, he said he was \"determined to be the first at the work.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat the temple cost was never settled. Ira Ames took over the building committee's books and found them in disorder.

Joseph Smith read a prayer he had received by revelation, now Doctrine and Covenants 109, the congregation gave the Hosanna Shout, and they sang \"The Spirit of God,\" which William W. Phelps wrote for the occasion. All three became standard elements of temple dedications afterward.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn April 3, 1836, one week after the dedication, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery recorded a vision at the pulpits in which Moses, Elias, and Elijah conferred priesthood keys.

About two decades later the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, now Community of Christ, secured ownership through a legal claim of continuous use, and cared for the building from then until 2024.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn March 5, 2024, ownership transferred to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Discussions had begun in June 2021.

Community of Christ stated the proceeds would fund its mission priorities worldwide.

By the mid-1960s roughly 52 percent of all ordinance work in the Church was being performed in three buildings: Logan, Manti, and Salt Lake. Temples for Provo and Ogden were announced in 1967 to take the load off them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFetzer designed both under a single basic plan, with efficiency, convenience, and economical construction as the stated priorities. The two buildings went up at the same time and were nearly identical until Ogden was given a new exterior in the early 2010s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvo's groundbreaking came one week after Ogden's, the first time two temple groundbreakings were held in the same month.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral thousand people turned out on May 21, 1971, for the cornerstone ceremony, with the walls and spire already standing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"temple-facts__block\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSymbolism \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"temple-facts__list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCirculation drove the plan. Six ordinance rooms ringed a celestial room at the center of the top floor, and a corridor ran the full circle of the top two levels. Fetzer took the loop from a park in Copenhagen encircled by an elliptical roadway. Patrons moved through without crossing paths, and Church News noted it was almost impossible to get lost inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe original design called for a gold-leafed angel Moroni on the gold spire.
