Answer: Nauvoo

The Nauvoo temple was built in Nauvoo, Illinois. It was dedicated in private on April 30, 1846, and a public dedication was on May 1st. The Saints were not able to use it for very long because they were issued with the Extermination Order. It burned to the ground in a suspicious fire on October 9, 1848.
