Architecture and Design of the San Luis Potosí Mexico Temple
A single-story building of approximately 9,300 square feet, the San Luis Potosí temple stands on a 3.9-acre site at Arboledas 100, Fraccionamiento Del Parque, El Parque, 78260 San Luis Potosí, in the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
One common design in the art-glass windows is that of the native chocolate cosmos flower. Rugs and furniture throughout the temple show deep blues, reds and floral designs, then lighter blues and creams are used in the celestial and sealing rooms.
