If you look at the official render for the Meridian temple, the statue faces east. Sometime after the render was made and before the statue was placed, the plans were changed to face the statue south (Note, when referring to the way the statue faces, architects refer to the direction the chest and feet point, rather than the trumpet. This is why the sign in your photo says south, rather than south west.)

President McKay had it rotated 90 degrees and it now faces North East instead.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/03431265608355674972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-7575334696382214612016-09-27T08:41:49.703-07:002016-09-27T08:41:49.703-07:00I can't post the picture on your Blog for some...I can't post the picture on your Blog for some reason, so here's the link that shows the direction which Moroni faces atop all LDS Temples. <br /><br />http://ldsmediatalk.com/2014/06/18/does-the-angel-moroni-on-lds-temples-always-face-east/Jeffrey Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909554074722585101noreply@blogger.com
