The Provo Tabernacle was one of the oldest LDS buildings in Utah and was burnt down in a fire this month. A concert, which was scheduled in the burnt edifice was held last minute in nearby University hall that is majority LDS. The subject is still LDS based. The TV station that did the report, KSL Television, is also owned by the LDS Church. Further, this was never designated as a Devotional, rather a Caucus.

I’m still not understanding the reason for the removal. What is the purpose of a caucus if not to provide a place for religious groups to discuss like minded issues?

If I am misunderstanding the reason and rules of a caucus, please let me know.

Tabernacle was Provo's core, should be rebuilt, expert says Published: Friday, Dec. 17, 2010 9:12 p.m. MST By Michael De Groote, Deseret News

PROVO — Architect William Folsom probably was relieved when LDS Church leaders in Provo asked him to design their new tabernacle after the Salt Lake Assembly Hall on Temple Square. It made the job a little easier to have a model to build from.

C. Mark Hamilton, author of "Nineteenth-Century Mormon Architecture and City Planning," said three tabernacles in Utah were built in the late 1800s with the same basic underlying design: The Assembly Hall, the Provo Tabernacle and the Coalville Tabernacle.

The Provo Tabernacle had the same basic cross-shaped layout as the Assembly Hall, but with large staircase towers at each corner, which are "reminiscent of the octagonal towers of the Manti Temple," Hamilton wrote in his book. The towers gave the tabernacle "a more imposing presence" than the Salt Lake Assembly Hall
