GFRG at Philadelphia LDS Temple

The Philadelphia Pennsylvania Temple was the first temple built in the state of Pennsylvania and the fourth in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

B. Jeffrey Stebar of the Atlanta office of Perkins+Will was selected as lead architect for the project while serving as counselor in the stake presidency of the Fayetteville Georgia Stake.

The paint designs incorporate raised bas-relief plaster detailing of neoclassical motifs found in Philadelphia and are featured in the instruction, celestial, and sealing rooms. Evergreen Studios of New York City produced the design. Monochromatic, low-contrast colors in whites and tans were chosen for this specialized decorative feature.

Palladio GFRG were utilized to manufacture many of the interior GFRG decorative elements for Evergreene. As seen in the gallery, our team of sculptors created a wide array of decorative features.
