Moroni, Utah, a small town in northern Sanpete County, once had a beautiful tabernacle (although it technically did not serve a stake, it served the Moroni West Ward, but was called a tabernacle because it was such a large and ornate structure).
It was built in 1889, but unfortunately burned down. The Moroni East Ward had its own building, built in 1925.
Sometime in the 1950s, the Church built a very nice new meetinghouse just north of the East Ward, which now houses both Moroni wards. The city used the old east ward as its city hall for quite some time, until it built a new city hall on the site of the old tabernacle sometime in the past decade. The old east ward building now appears to house a few residential apartments.
The finial on the top of the tower has been removed or fallen off, and there are some changes to the buildings (additions, changes to the windows), but it looks much the same.
