Temples The House Of The Lord
So I have decided to share with you the wonder and beauty of the Temples built by The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I will purely be posting photos taken of these magnificent buildings to display the architecture and design of these Holy places every Sunday. I will share a short history of the Temple with each post. If you have any further questions as to the purposes of the Temples and religious meanings, feel free to visit LDS.ORG
Provo City Centre Temple
Short History
The City Centre was used as a place of gathering for the saints since 1850. A meetinghouse was erected in 1856 the first of its kind. It served as a meetinghouse till 1918 when it was torn down and the foundations buried under the North lawn of the Utah Stake Tabernacle. The Tabernacle construction started in 1882 and took 16 years to complete. The Tabernacle was destroyed by fire in 2010. In 2012 ground breaking was done for the construction of the Provo City Centre Temple and the Temple was dedicated in 2016.

Very interesting article! Keep up the good work, friend! I will definitely follow you, you can also check my profile and if you like my articles feel free to follow me too! @tyregethon :)
Great photos but I have to admit being confused by the 2 pictures apparently showing first just the exterior walls and then the entire Tabernacle supported by a steel framework from below.
Was this an excavation/reconstitution or was the Tabernacle actually moved to that location?
The original tabernacle was used in the construction of the temple, so they needed to reinforce the foundation so they fitted the steel base under the original foundation.
That's quite the feat of engineering.
Jaw dropping photos! 👀👍😁
My heart is the house of the lord
