TABERNACLE

I FIRST POSTED A CARD OF THE 

INTERIOR OF THE TABERNACLE 

SHOWING THE GREAT ORGAN and  CHOIR

THEN JANA LAST POSTED A CARD LIKE THIS SHOWING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABERNACLE ON HER SITE.

This Construction commenced Sept. 1, 1865, finished 1867.  The roof, the principal portion of the building, rests upon 44 sandstone piers, 3 feet thick, 20 feet high and 9 feet wide.  On each side are 9 pillars, from which a 48 foot arch is sprung.  13 arches spring at each end from piers standing on a circle.  The arches are of a lattice truss construction, securely fastened, where necessary, with cowhide and wooden pegs.

 SO, I DUG UP A FEW OTHER "MORMON" CARDS TO SHARE.

HERE IS THE COMPLETED TABERNACLE ON ANOTHER CARD

The Tabernacle is one of the largest structures for religious worship in the world.  It is 150 by 250 feet and 80 feet high.  The arches of the roof rest upon 44 stone peirs and have no center support.  Its seating capacity is 8,000.  The large pipe organ in the Tabernacle has been world famous for many years.  A free organ recital is given daily for Salt Lake City visitors.
