Bountiful Tabernacle: Interior Details


On the entablature above the windows are laurel wreaths with a ribbon across the bottom.




The balcony has some beautiful woodwork. The columns have some graining to make them appear marble, a common practice at the time.



The woodworking pattern along the bottom of the balcony railing is in a Greek key pattern; a classic decorative motif that has been around more thousands of years. While a common design, it has some symbolism referring to eternity or infinity.



While now connected to a larger building, the adobe walls of the tabernacle are apparent when you enter the chapel or look through the windows. The walls are a few feet thick.
