COEUR D’ALENE — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has announced the location of the Coeur d’Alene Idaho Temple.
It will be built on a 10.91-acre site located at the corner of Hanley Avenue and Coeur Terre Boulevard in Coeur d’Alene, according to a church news release. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 29,630 square feet, a meetinghouse and an accompanying ancillary building.
