Description
The Pocatello Idaho Temple is a white granite structure with a 194-foot (59 m) spire topped by an angel Moroni statue. The building contains four instruction rooms where religious ceremonies are conducted.
History
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints proposed building a temple in Pocatello starting in the 1930s. Water supply challenges significantly delayed the project's completion.
Culture
The interior displays designs of Idaho's state flower, the syringa, along with native wildflowers in its glass windows and decorative elements. These floral motifs connect the building's design to the local landscape and regional identity.
Practical
The building is located on Butte Street and offers clothing rental services along with ceremonies in multiple languages that require advance scheduling. Visitors should check ahead, as access to certain areas is restricted to church members.
