50 years ago today - Jul 2, 1962

Counselor Hugh B. Brown rededicates portions of Alberta (Canada) temple. Extensive remodeling of temple interiors (sometimes involving structural replacement of EVERYTHING except exterior walls and roof) is necessary to accommodate filmed endowment ceremony and to allow larger number of temple patrons. Rededication ceremonies occur for Arizona temple (Apr. 15, 1975), St. George temple (Nov. 11, 1975), Hawaii temple (Jun 13, 1978), Logan temple (Mar. 13, 1979), Manti temple (Jun 14, 1985), Alberta temple (again Jun 22, 1991), London temple, (Oct. 18, 1992), Swiss temple (Oct 23, 1992). These temples, sometimes for first time in nearly 100 years, are open to general public for tours prior to rededication ceremonies occurring from 1975 onward.
