Nauvoo Temple rebirth mirrors historic effort and faith
Kay Walker, great grandson of William H. Walker, helps rebuild the Nauvoo Temple blending 1840s craft with modern methods. The 65,000 square foot limestone shrine features 134 windows with antique 30-step construction, hand carved pegs, and 90 stones while open houses draw 250,000 visitors before consecration in May.
