The Bountiful Tabernacle has changed greatly from its original form. One renovation had built the overflow onto the north end of the chapel (seen on the left side of this picture).

You can see the overflow being used in this picture of a meeting in progress. You can also see some more details that used to be on the walls--too bad they're not there anymore.

The painting of Joseph Smith was removed in the 1970s renovation, and is now in the Church's collection. I'll show close-up pictures of it in my next post.
The chapel has lots some of its details. Organ pipes are now at the front. However, it still has some great features--the entablature details above the windows (laurel wreaths), historic light fixtures with moldings, and woodworking on the balcony, staircase, and columns.
More images are to come.
