Looks like they kept (& restored) the old pioneer wall murals here. Folk art murals are found in the creation, garden, and celestial room.

So this "temple" kind of has a special place in my rabid exmo heart.

It was in this so-called "temple" that my parents were married (ended in disaster and a pissed-on fish) and I went to a few sessions there as a young man. I loved the interior style of it, I LOVE art deco, but I love only legit art deco. Art Deco before it was termed "Art Deco", which this building has in droves since it was designed in the 1930's when that style was being applied.

I am going to go to the open house, taking a little road trip. I saw that the pics were online, so I took a gander. I'm sad to see them replace the vintage chandelier with a new Schonbek model, but that is the contract I guess.

I was happy to see the "baptism font" is original. I guess they learned a lesson finally. Don't gut the character.

I was born a few miles away.

Glad they restored the old pioneer murals .. I heard they painted over some in other places.

That's one of the few temples with a mural in the Celestial Room too.

The male voice doing the narration is monotone - just what all of you here have taught me to expect from LDS leaders!

The celestial room looks like grandmother's front parlor; pale green. Really? A glimpse of heaven?? Not to me.

Who would waste the bandwidth?
