Not too long after the Provo Tabernacle was dedicated, the tall center tower caused the roof start to sag. This was due to there being no direct support for the tower, as the tower rested directly on the roof trusses, which in turn rested on the exterior walls.
The tower pedestal would stay atop the temple for another 30 or so years before being completely removed.
Very nice, as always. I never realized how small the original tabernacle was!
