The Montpelier Stake Tabernacle was built in 1918. It follows an Art Deco style, and is one of the most unique buildings in the Church.

The building has been wonderfully preserved, including a huge project from 2013-15 where it was carefully restored (which earned a preservation award).
The building was closed, but here are some good views of the interior. The building is shaped like a semi-circle, with the curved pews radiating out from the center. Here is an image from the recent restoration:
And here are some images from the Church History Library. As you can tell, it really was a well-done preservation project.

Is it open for public tours?
ReplyDeleteIt's not, unfortunately. It's used for stake and community events, but if you want to see it, you'd have to be in town when it's being used, unfortunately.
