Oakland California Temple Construction Sketch - November 17, 1964 #193680 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing documents the Oakland California Temple’s architectural progress on November 17, 1964, just over a year before its dedication in November 1964. The illustration emphasizes the temple’s Art Deco-inspired verticality, with a tall central spire flanked by smaller turrets and detailed geometric patterning on the façade. It reflects the meticulous planning and symbolic design elements characteristic of mid-20th-century Latter-day Saint temples.

Used in historical archives, church publications, or museum exhibits to illustrate temple development timelines; matches user intent for researching LDS architecture, Oakland Temple history, or mid-century religious building design.
