Lehi Tabernacle
The Lehi Tabernacle served as a tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from its 1910 dedication to 1920 when it was sold to the Alpine School District. The building was reestablished as a tabernacle in 1937 until its eventual 1962 demolition in downtown Lehi, Utah, United States.

A committee was formed who selected and secured the lot and selected the building plans of Salt Lake City architect Richard K.A. Kletting. Excavation began in February 1900.
