Then and now: Granite Tabernacle

The old Granite Tabernacle, once located on the northeast corner of 3300 South and State Street, stood from 1903 to 1956. "This tabernacle was part of a network of large meeting halls that served the various communities in which they were built," reads the Utah History Encyclopedia. "The Granite Tabernacle was considered one of the finest, with a tower rising 133 feet and a dome arching 70 feet over the assembly floor that seated 2,500 people." After 53 years, the building was demolished. The Century 16 movie theaters now reside there.
