The original Samoa temple was dedicated in 1983 and destroyed by fire while the temple was closed for renovations in 2003. This new temple of a similar design was built on the same site although it is substantially larger.[4] The LDS Church continues to list this as the 22nd operating temple, in accordance to its original dedication date.[5]
