Bountiful Tabernacle: Staircase Details

The stairs are reminiscent, albeit not as grand nor as tall, as the staircases in the St. George Tabernacle. They are one of the most beautiful parts of the tabernacle.

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.
