Notes
"The first major structure built on the Temple Square site was the original Tabernacle, later called the “Old Tabernacle” for being a precursor to the modern Tabernacle nearby. It was constructed between 1851 and 1852 where the Assembly Hall now stands. Truman O. Angell, the architect, designed the Old Tabernacle with low adobe walls, a gabled roof, and a floor below ground level. The building accommodated roughly 2,500 people.'
