Welcome to the Every Temple Podcast! This is our first episode!

The Kirtland temple was not even known as a temple at the time it was announced and constructed. It was called the House of the Lord, because there was no known concept on the earth of what a temple was, and how it would bless the lives of the saints.

Construction commenced: June 1833

Dedicated: March 1836 by Joseph Smith

Size - 15,000 sq feet
