Recent Pictures of the St. George Temple Renovation
Edward Lloyd Parry served as master stonemason of the St. George Temple from 1871-1877. Considering how closely he and his family worked on and sacrificed for this building, it has been dear to his descendants ever since.
Now, 143 years later, renovation will give new life to the oldest operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Here are some recent pictures that expose the back side of the temple, where workers have stripped away exterior walls, revealing the original exterior.
On the bottom right-hand door (or window?) of the first photo, one can clearly see some of the original red sandstone exterior, prior to its being covered over with the familiar white plaster.
