Anchorage Alaska Temple [2025]

The Anchorage Temple will close soon for an extensive "reconstruction" that will consist of building a new temple further north on the lot where the Stake Center currently sits. After completion of the new temple, the original structure will be removed, and a new Stake Center built at that location.

Anchorage does so many of my temple file baptisms, thank you so much. From South Africa

[@minnienoodle8552]

Beautiful! My daughter served her mission in Anchorage, and is excited about this. I served in the Austria, Vienna Mission and was hoping to see that temple on your list, but, alas....😞
I enjoyed the history you did on the Logan temple. I work on the grounds there and know it well. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos!

My apologies on Vienna, I cannot do a model for that, as nothing has been released by the Church! Until the release a render, I have no idea what the temple will look like, I am afraid.

@@BrianOlsonPhotogent Oh, ok! That makes complete sense. Thank you for your response, and now I have something to look forward to. 😀

Such an amazing improvement. New building will be 3x the original size of the 1999 version.

I’m Glad that you back

Have fun shoveling snow off that roof

[@BrianOlsonPhotogent]

The existing temple also has a flat roof, which I always found odd. I'm sure they have it figured out now, after 24 years!
