Taylorsville Temple

Designed to reflect the architecture of European Cathedrals and the craftsmanship of early pioneers, the Taylorsville Temple inspires awe with its picturesque arched windows, carved finials, and ornate frieze detailing. The design used two different stone color tones, with the veneer being slightly darker than the lighter cubic accent pieces. The temple incorporates more than 20 unique stone elements, including 6 pilaster designs, 4 types of finials, 5 different window arch sizes, 4 types of grand windows, as well as cornices, entablatures, and rails. Over 10,000 pieces were installed in just over 20 months.
