The Hawaiian Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Laie, Hawaii. Dr. Fairbanks and his brother J. Leo were commissioned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to erect four sculpture friezes for the temple in Hawaii. Avard sent for his sweetheart while in Hawaii, and they were married in Honolulu. They finished there work on the temple in 1918 and returned home. Works included the four friezes at the top of the temple, the baptismal font, a statue of Lehi blessing his son Joseph, and a panel portraying a Hawaiian mother and her children.
