DRAPER — The new Draper Temple of the LDS Church is unlike any other temple along the Wasatch Front. That's because it is smaller, has its own design, features some unique artwork, lacks a patron cafeteria and has no clothing rental facilities. A contingent of more than three dozen media members took a 90-minute tour of the new temple Friday. The general public can tour temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, until they are dedicated.
Public open houses of the Draper Temple begin Jan. 15 and go through March 14. The temple will be dedicated March 20-22. Nestled in Corner Canyon in the southeast foothills of the Salt Lake Valley at 14065 S. Canyon Vista Lane, this temple (and the Oquirrh Temple now under construction in South Jordan's Daybreak community) will ease pressure on the Jordan River Utah Temple. It will serve approximately 60,000 church members in the Draper area. This will be the 129th operating temple in the world, the 12th in Utah and the third in Salt Lake County.
