The original Ogden Pioneer Tabernacle, on the southeast corner of the block, was begun in 1855 and finally opened on Oct. 10, 1869, seating 1,250 people. However, soon after the railroad came to Ogden, work began on a new, larger tabernacle and the old one was to be a concert hall. The tabernacle was replaced in 1953. That tabernacle stood until 1971.
