Solomon built the first temple. This temple was destroyed by the Romans but later rebuilt.
King Solomon, son of David built the first temple. It was destroyed in B.C. 587. After the seventy year captivity Zerubbabel returned and began to rebuild the temple in B.C. 536, but it was not until B.C. 516 that the temple was complete. After that Herod the Great expanded and took some of it down to the foundations and rebuilt it in a more splendid manor. Herod the Great died in B.C. 4, but the building continued until A.D. 40. In A.D. 70 the Romans destroyed the temple and as yet it has not been rebuilt.

Why did GOD allow Solomon to build the temple?

Lets start from the exodus. The children of Israel led by Moses built the first tabernacle. It was made for traveling. That is it could be put up and taken down quickly and during the 40 year trek in the wilderness this was done a lot of times. Then when the children of Israel entered the Promised Land the tabernacle went with them for a short period of time and then it was placed in Shiloh were it remained for many years until the Philistines destroyed it. Then for some years parts of the tabernacle (Furniture etc) was scattered in different places in Israel. Then later it was put together by David the King and brought to Jerusalem. David wanted to build a more permanent building or temple for the Lord, but David was a man of blood (war) and was not allowed to build the temple, but he was allowed to gather materials etc for the building of the temple. God had decided that Solomon, King Davids son was the suitable person to build the temple, and so he did.
