Saying Goodbye...

...to the Provo Tabernacle. What a tradgedy! I am sad that it's gone at all, but also sad that I never took any unburned photos of it like I really wanted to do, or used it as a backdrop for a photo shoot. :(

Even some of the trees were damaged, mainly by ice forming on the branches from all the water sprayed on the fire.

You can see with this close-up how the fire destroyed the stained glass (esp. on the right side), but left the metal outline behind.

This iconic building will sure be missed! No word yet as to how it started or if it will be rebuilt. Farewell!

Here are some old pictures of it:

That center tower was eventually removed due to worry that the building could not support it.

I was totally shocked when I saw this on the news! I cannot believe that it burned down.

This made me sad also. I remember going to stake Conference in that building when I was up at BYU.
