Lehi Tabernacle
One of the most famous and prominent sites in Utah County, the Lehi Tabernacle served as a meeting house for the members of the community for many years. Construction lasted over 10 years and was only in use for roughly 15 years before it was purchased by Alpine School District. The church eventually bought back the Tabernacle and it functioned as a cultural hub for the city. Many recitals, performances, religious meetings, civic and political meetings, commencement exercises, banquets, and Christmas programs were held in the Tabernacle. As time passed, it was determined that the Tabernacle would be torn down and a new meeting house would be built in its place.
Old 4th Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Wardhouse which was built in 1920. Once located at 880 North 700 East Lehi, UT. It was unfortunately demolished.
