The Old South Church
The congregation established itself here in 1819. It's first chruch burned and the second building was nearly destroyed in a hurricane. This structure was built in 1859 with a belfry added later. It was later used by surveyors as a fixed point to establish property lines in Kirtland.

Kirtland Temple
Originally built in 1836 by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Much of the material came from a local gravel pit. When the Mormons moved west, the temple was used by various groups until purchased by the re-organized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a church building.
