Soaring above the forests surrounding the capital of the United States, the Washington D.C. Temple stands out not only because of its stunning construction but also because of its unique history. At 288 feet, the Washington D.C. Temple is the tallest temple in the Church, the first temple built in the eastern United States, the only temple outside of Utah to have six ordinance rooms, and one of only a few temples to feature an angel Moroni statue holding the gold plates.
