The Alpine Stake Tabernacle or Alpine Tabernacle, located at 110 East Main Street (US-89) in American Fork, Utah, United States, functions as a meeting place for large gatherings of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in northern Utah County for worship services. The building is part of the American Fork Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
Construction
[edit | edit source]Plans for the tabernacle began soon after the formation of the Alpine Stake and drawings were made by the architectural design firm Liljenberg & Maeser.[2] Construction on the foundation began in 1909 and the cornerstone was dedicated in 1910 by Orson F. Whitney. The structure was completed in 1914 at a cost of $80,000 and dedicated the following year in 1915 by LDS Church president Joseph F. Smith.[3] The exterior is built with stone, red sandstone and yellow brick and does not feature a tower or steeple. The interior seats about 2,000 and retains much original decoration. Like many of the church's tabernacles, it houses a grand pipe organ. It also was built with a baptismal font. The tabernacle was extensively remodeled at a cost of $230,000 in 1962 and rededicated by Henry D. Moyle.[4] It was remodeled again in 1982. In 1994, the tabernacle was closed for a period of time while renovations were undertaken, including an extensive asbestos abatement. The tabernacle reopened in 1995 and continues to function as a tabernacle and hold various civic meetings.
