Latter-day Saint leaders say renovated Salt Lake Temple will include significant changes, preservation

Major changes happening to the interior of the Salt Lake Temple during its years-long renovation are coming into clearer view, and church leaders say they will make it more like the original, according to a news release issued Saturday.

“The renovated temple will feel more consistent and more like the original Salt Lake Temple from beginning to end,” said Bill Williams, the church’s director of architecture. “As soon as you walk through the doors of the north entry pavilion, it will look like a Victorian-era temple, which was never the case after previous renovations. I think for most people it will feel like, ‘Wow. Now it feels like the Salt Lake Temple from stem to stern.’”

The release included photographs and renderings that illustrate some of the work that is underway.
