What do you know about the old Valley Mucic Hall in North Salt Lake? L

DeleteHello Bridger. I am starting a wonderful children's choir in Richfield and surrounding towns. Is there just one room in your beautiful tabernacle we might use for rehearsals? We are currently practicing in an office space in a building on Main Street but the space is too small. We practice Fridays from 4 to 5pm. Hope you can help. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA "Foothill Building" now also used as the Mission Office was the most expensive built by the church at the time 1980. It was allowed because H W Hunter from Pasadena said members would pay a certain portion, spearheaded by C L Kofford who was a resident and later 70. Upon completion the Church vowed another like it would never be built (as it was not a standard chapel design).

ReplyDeleteAbout 20 years ago, I accompanied family members to Grantsville, Utah, to track down old family residences. The chapel where my ancestors had attended in the 1920s-1931 was then privately owned and used as a residence. Are you aware of this building? I don't know what might have happened to it in the intervening years.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe it is still there. I need to document it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grantsville_First_Ward_Meetinghouse
DeleteWith the passage of years, will you now expand your blog of historic to include Los Angeles and the other 1950's temples? I would love to know more about your comment under Idaho Falls about LA using a tape recording from day 1. Also, I would love to know when IF transitioned from live sessions to film instruction.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have a post with more detail about the L.A. temple at some point. I've only attended it once and wasn't taking good note of the architecture details like the floor plan. But maybe some day...
DeleteDavid O. McKay wrote in his journal that the L.A. temple used a tape recording for the presentation of the endowment. My understanding is that the tape recording played the audio (dialogue) of the ceremony while temple workers still acted out the parts of the ceremony without having to speak (and therefore memorize the whole script).
I believe Idaho Falls transitioned to film instruction in the late 1980s or early 1990s--I will have to check my sources!

Hello! Thank you for this resource. We are just launching a fundraising campaign to preserve the Rexburg Tabernacle, which serves as an arts and events venue. BYU-I students just completed a documentary, "Rexburg Tabernacle: A Century of Gathering" about our historic building. I'd be happy to share a link to the short film. I appreciate your passion for these beautifully built buildings and their consecrated craftmanship. rexburgarts.org
ReplyDeleteI'd personally love to see the film, Jed!
