THE NARRATIVE

The construction of the Salt Lake Tabernacle began in 1863 and was completed in 1867, taking about four years. This iconic building, known for its unique design and remarkable acoustics, has been a central gathering place for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

As for the wall around Temple Square, construction started in 1852 and involved building a fourteen-foot wall of sandstone and adobe. The exact duration of this project isn't specified, but it was part of the early efforts to establish and protect the temple grounds.

NOTE: We are also told that the power tool was not invented until 1895 by the German engineering company C&E Fein.

The Salt Lake Tabernacle was primarily designed and constructed under the direction of Henry Grow, a civil engineer known for his innovative use of the lattice-truss arch system. Brigham Young, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time, played a significant role in overseeing the project and ensuring its completion. Truman O. Angell also contributed to the design, particularly with the addition of the gallery in 1870.

The construction involved many skilled craftsmen and laborers from the Latter-day Saint community, reflecting a collective effort to create this iconic structure.
