I love the Cardston temple. It was the temple I would travel to as a youth. I have been in many temples and to me it is still one of the prettiest. No other baptismal font is as pretty as the Cardston. Every time I see a temple and look at the baptismal font I notice that it is not as amazing as Cardstons.

Also there are actually 9 temples without angel Moroni on it. The following nine temples (listed alphabetically) do not have Angel Moroni statues: 1) Cardston Alberta 2) Hamilton New Zealand 3) Laie Hawaii 4) Logan Utah 5) London England 6) Manti Utah 7) Mesa Arizona 8) Oakland California 9) St. George Utah. Occasionally, local building codes or the possibility of cultural misconceptions preclude the use of an Angel Moroni statue.

Anyone notice the lack of Angel Moroni on Google’s aerial view of the San Diego Temple?

Bill,

The Mesa Temple was referred to for many years as the Lamanite Temple because the the temple district included multiple Native American nations, as well as the countries of Mexico, Central and South America until temples were built in those regions. Incidently, it was the first temple to have the ordinances in more than one language (English and Spanish)

As a matter of personal taste, I hate it. It was designed to evoke a cloud and a pillar of fire. Now it's been painted white and looks like a wedding cake. Give me back my gold spire! We seem to be getting fairly good at showing respect for original design if it's Victorian, but there's no respect for the modern Architecture that temples of the 1940s - 1970s reflected.

When did they add Moroni to the Provo temple? I don't remember it being there when I was in Provo in '94.

Where does the Dallas temple have a stream? Underground?

…should also have included New Zealand, along with London and Swiss, built in the 1950s with no statue, and and nearly identical in design.

Moroni inside the Temple? Hum – A little dust here and a little dust there. Maybe he walks 3inches above the floors also.
