Weber Stake Tabernacle

The Weber Stake Tabernacle was a structure with heavy wooden beams and spacious interior rooms designed by architect William N. Fife in the 1850s. The building featured a timber framework with crafted architectural elements and received later additions including cupolas and decorative entrance features.

The building opened in 1859 and served as a major religious center for the local faith community. It shaped the city's landscape until demolition in 1971 to make way for construction of the Ogden Utah Temple.

The building served as a gathering place for religious ceremonies and community meetings of the Latter-day Saints in the Weber area. It became a central meeting point where people came together to celebrate their faith and strengthen community bonds.

The building no longer stands, having been demolished in the early 1970s to allow a new structure to be built on the site. Those interested in learning about this part of local history can research its impact on the city's development.

In its final years from 1966 until demolition in 1971, the building was converted into a genealogy library. This transformation allowed community members to research and preserve their family histories within its walls.
