Due to a fire in the Old Tabernacle building in Provo on December 17, 2010, President Monson announced that it would be rebuilt as a temple.
"The Provo City Center Temple will recapture the historic beauty of the former Provo Tabernacle through meticulous preservation and careful study of the design of the original structure. Interior components that survived the fire including wood moldings, newel posts, and balustrades, will be used as models for the production of rich woodwork and other design elements used throughout the temple."
"On Monday, March 31, 2014, the traditional gold-leafed figure of the angle Moroni was hoisted into place atop the central tower of the Provo City Center Temple."
The temple is anticipated to be completed in late 2015.
