John C. Gray-Randolph Tabernacle

People call it the Randolph Tabernacle, but it was only ever the ward's own meetinghouse, built too grand to go by a plainer name. John C. Gray designed it, worked nearly every stage of it, and later served twenty years as the ward's bishop; it is the one building known to be his. The ward paid for all of it, and because an apostle insisted the work stop whenever debt piled up, the raising stretched from 1898 to its dedication in 1914 — sixteen years of a town building for itself, a little at a time.
