Alpine Stake Tabernacle, Religious building in American Fork, Utah, United States
The Alpine Stake Tabernacle at 110 East Main Street in American Fork is a stone, red sandstone and yellow brick building without a tower or steeple. Its interior seats about 2,000 people, keeps much of its original decoration, and holds a grand pipe organ and a baptismal font.
Construction of this building started in 1909 and was completed in 1914, with the dedication ceremony held in 1915. The project reflected the growth of the religious community in the region during the early 1900s.
The building is named for the Alpine Stake, the LDS Church unit formed in the area before planning began. It still hosts worship services and civic meetings, and the interior keeps much of its original decoration. A baptismal font was built into the tabernacle, and the pipe organ remains part of the hall.
The building sits on Main Street at 110 East Main Street and is easy to locate. Visitors should check ahead for worship service times and public events, as hours vary depending on what is taking place.
The cornerstone was dedicated in 1910 by Orson F. Whitney, an LDS apostle who was also a published poet and hymn writer. The building was finished in 1914 for $80,000 and dedicated in 1915 by church president Joseph F. Smith.
