Construction

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 LDS 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 was reopened in 1995 and continues to function as a tabernacle and hold various civic meetings.

gollark: I found `async-scoped`, but it seems like that would either block the entire thread or possibly cause safety issues.
gollark: Hi. I'm trying to concurrently read from a websocket and do some things with that socket at an interval, with `async_std` and `tide-websocket`. I thought I could use `task::spawn` for this, but it seems to want that to only use `'static` things, which the websocket connection is not. What's the right way to do this?

gollark: I was thinking control flow would mostly be done via special mirrors/surfaces which would duplicate or absorb particles depending on which side they're on.
gollark: Ah. This isn't hugely Photonous. It wouldn't have a grid.
