The Nauvoo Temple was the second temple constructed by
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, commonly known as the Mormons. The church's first temple was completed in Kirtland, Ohio, United States in 1836. When the main body of the
church was forced out of Nauvoo, Illinois in the winter of 1846, the church
attempted to sell the building, finally succeeding in 1848[citation needed] . The building was damaged by fire and a tornado before being demolished.
In 1937, The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints reacquired the lot on which the original temple had stood. The Church built a temple on the original site whose exterior is a
replica of the first temple, but whose interior is laid out like a modern Latter-day Saint temple. On 27 June 2002, this new temple was dedicated as the Nauvoo Illinois Temple.
