The TABERNACLE was built between 1864 and 1867.  It has a seating capacity of 8,000.  It was built as a gathering place for the Saints.  It is a beautiful, inspiring building!  It’s acoustics are amazing! Notice the marble column on the right of this photo, it is actually a wooden column that was painted to look like marble.

It was a wonderful day, touring Temple Square with my cousin, Raewyn and her husband, Mike, who were visiting from New Zealand!  The TABERNACLE was awe inspiring as we thought of the early Mormon saints who built it!  It’s acoustics are awesome!
