Architectural History

The construction of the meeting house was begun in 1864 and completed in 1867. It was designed so that one speaker from each of the present without time not yet existing amplifier and speaker can be heard. The good room acoustics stems inter alia from the fact that the lime plaster larger amounts have been added pet hair, so the sound is better absorbed. An optimum reverberation time of 2.2 seconds, quite accurately achieved when about 2,500 listeners are present.

The tabernacle was appointed to the Landmark National Historic Landmark and a National Historic Civil Engineering.

From January 2005 to March 2007, the Tabernacle was renovated and rededicated on 31 March 2007 by President Gordon B. Hinckley.
