The Orlando Florida Temple is the 48th constructed and 46th operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and was the first to be built in Florida. Located near Windermere, Florida, it was built with a modern single-spire design.[1] It is the second largest LDS temple in the Eastern United States, after the Washington D.C. Temple. The intent to build the temple was announced on February 17, 1990.[2]
