The Atlanta Georgia Temple is the 23rd constructed and 21st operating temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in Sandy Springs, Georgia it was the first of a group of seven smaller temples announced together in 1980. It was originally designed without a spire, but while under construction, the spire and a 10 foot statue of the angel Moroni were added to the plans. After this time, almost all temples would include a statue of the angel Moroni, which had previously been used only on the Salt Lake, Los Angeles, and Washington temples. Also, starting with this temple, the cornerstone ceremony became part of the dedication ceremonies. The Atlanta temple design was reused in the Denver Colorado Temple, and smaller versions of it were used in the Apia, Nuku'alofa, Santiago, Papeete, and Sydney temples.
