Rexburg Tabernacle
The Rexburg Tabernacle was sold to the city of Rexburg and now serves as a community center. The actual chapel was locked when I visited, but several good pictures were available at rexburgfun.com:
As a person who was born and raised in Rexburg, those beautiful stained glass windows bring back a lot of memories. We went to stake conference there for many years and I would spend my time looking at the windows and the scroll work detail that covered the pipes for the organ.
It looks beautiful! I did find out that the stained glass windows are replicas of the original--apparently, after the building was abandoned by the LDS Church, vandals broke the windows. But I'm glad they've been restored to match the originals.
