Abstract

The Kirtland Temple has presided over the Kirtland Flats of Northern Ohio for 164 years as an architectural testimony of the faith and industry of the Kirtland Saints. Much has been said about the Temple and the events that transpired therein, yet there remained a paucity of information about its superintendent of construction – Artemus Millet. References to Millet are only passing ones in works related to the Kirtland period of Mormonism. To me, he deserved to be included among Truman Angell, William Folsom, and William Weeks as one of the great architects in LDS Church History. The goal of my research was to illustrate the important role Artmeus Millet played in the early years of the Restoration.
