Old Tabernacle Lintel Stone

This is a piece of a building that no longer exists. Provo's first tabernacle, a three-story adobe hall with a domed belfry, went up through the 1860s and was dedicated in 1867 — the center of the young town's worship for a generation. When a grander tabernacle rose beside it, the old one lost its purpose, and in 1919 it was torn down. Almost nothing survived. Someone saved this carved lintel stone, the rock beam that once spanned a doorway, and set it here in 1954: a single sentence rescued from a whole lost book.
