Front of the Provo Tabernacle Burns on December 17th, 2011


This is the front door of the Tabernacle which faces east to University Avenue in Provo.  The rubble of the roof and balcony block the doorway and then flames continue.  The pretty stained glass windows are visible in the photograph.  The four cornered spires of the Provo tabernacle are modeled after the Assembly Hall on Temple Square in Salt Lake City.  The LDS church no longer constructs building of this nature.  It was originally the large meeting house for all of Utah County and has served place for both church and cultural events since is was completed in the 1860's.
