Description
The Greek Revival building was designed by Augustus Farnham and was begun in 1857. Work was suspended that year during the time of the Utah Expedition, also known as Buchanan's Blunder. But the structure was finally completed in 1863, including its mural of Joseph Smith, commissioned by Brigham Young and painted by Daniel Waggelund. It was dedicated by Elder Heber C. Kimball on 14-15 March 1863.
The Bountiful Tabernacle was Farnham's most significant work, and became known worldwide.[2] In 1976 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
