Orlando Florida Temple

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Orlando Florida Temple is the 48th constructed and 46th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located near Windermere, it was built with a modern single-spire design. It is the second largest LDS temple in the Eastern United States, after the Washington D.C. Temple.

The LDS temple in Orlando, Florida was announced on April 6, 1991, and dedicated on October 9, 1994 by President Howard W. Hunter. The temple was built on a 13 acre plot, has 4 ordinance rooms and 5 sealing rooms, and has a total floor area of 70,000 square feet. It is the only temple dedicated solely by Howard W. Hunter, though President Hunter assisted in the dedication of the Bountiful Utah Temple.
