For a century, water seeped into and damaged the pioneer-era Manti Utah Temple’s walls and the plaster under the historic temple’s cherished murals by masters like Minerva Teichert and C.C.A. Christensen. Now, that threat is gone, a church historian said after a tour for journalists Monday morning at the third-oldest temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After a 29-month renovation that included intense water mitigation as well as restoration and preservation work, the church is ready to welcome the public over the next three weeks to the first open house at the Manti Temple since 1985.
