The old Payson Tabernacle was originally
built in the early 1870s. It was dedicated by Apostle Wilford
Woodruff on July 20, 1872. It was designed with a hip-angle roof and
tall, slim windows on each side. A balcony was built into the west end
of the building. A slender shoe-box pulpit stood in front of the
speaker's stand on the east end of the building. The building was
destroyed by fire in 1904.
The Nebo Stake Tabernacle was constructed on
the site of the Old Payson Tabernacle that burned in 1904.
Construction on the tabernacle located at 182 North Main was started
in June 1906 and was completed in November 1907. The building was
dedicated by President Joseph F. Smith, 6th President of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
