It took a long time to build this beautiful little building in Randolph, Utah (population: about 500). In fact, excavation for the building began in 1898, and it wasn't dedicated until 1914, by George Albert Smith.

This is a building that is not technically a "tabernacle," as it has never served as anything but a ward chapel. However, it is included on most lists, including Richard Jackson's list in
Places of Worship, because of its architectural merits.
The building received a sensitive remodel in 1984, including a one-story addition on the back. This building still houses services every Sunday. It's a beautiful building in a beautiful area.
Just a heads up, the link for the interior photos is no longer working.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I've removed it...hopefully I get in at some point!
DeleteI was told that that was the first meeting house that the relief society, put up drapes in the chapel. I was also told they brought in people from the outside of town to work because they didn’t want anybody to an accident & die because it would reduce the population of the town.
