Chicago Illinois Temple is the thirty-fifth church temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is the first of two church temples in Illinois. Located in the Chicago suburb of Glenview, the site of Chicago Illinois Temple was dedicated on August 13, 1983 by LDS President Gordon B. Hinckley. The structure itself was constructed in Gray buff marble and its roof features gray slate. Architects used a revolutionary design for Mormon temples, adapting the traditional six-spire design and adding modern motifs. The completion and official dedication was celebrated on August 9, 1985.
