The St. George Temple will close later this year for a major renovation, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Friday.
The white sandstone temple, located at 250 E. 400 South, will close Nov. 4, as crews begin “extensive structural, mechanical, electrical, finish and plumbing work,” the church said in a news release. The renovation is expected to be completed in 2022.
Church President Russell M. Nelson announced in October 2018 that the Salt Lake City-based faith would start renovating and updating pioneer-generation temples, including the six-spired Salt Lake Temple (renovation plans have yet to be announced for that iconic structure).
