So...Thanks for this, Julie. It is good to know. <br /><br />So, what on earth are we going to look at once the annex is covered? :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14777506515290986427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-2593841049596720052013-10-12T14:46:14.366-06:002013-10-12T14:46:14.366-06:00Not all of the filled in windows will end up actua...Not all of the filled in windows will end up actual windows. Specifically, the two windows you asked about on the east side are where the two endowment rooms will be. Those might have art glass on the outside, but there will not be light shining through on the inside. (And I truly doubt they'll leave a shotcrete window in place.) As for the windows on the west side, the three on the top under the gable will be part of the large sealing room. At the fireside a couple of weeks ago, Brother Kirby said that exterior light would shine into each sealing room. The interior of those 3 windows is not covered with rebar or shotcrete. As for when? I don't know. I'll just keep watching.Julie Markhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263863405353025499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-61968008735907593442013-10-12T14:30:38.822-06:002013-10-12T14:30:38.822-06:00As I recall, those panels weren't marble, but ...As I recall, those panels weren't marble, but some sort of fancy concrete with stone. Stuff of that style was really common mid-century, there is a lot of it in my town, the courthouse, library and places like that. Remembering back when they were removing it, from the pictures I saw it didn't look like much of that was saved, just bulldozed, since it wasn't original to the tabernacle anyway.<br /><br />As for the fence, I guess it will look like most new temple fences, pillars with big fancy iron panels in-between. That way people can see the temple easily from the street. Building a temple seems to be as much about making everything around it emphasize the temple as to make the temple impressive.The Cannon Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343309653489638507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-53554978076853746102013-10-12T12:56:39.614-06:002013-10-12T12:56:39.614-06:00The birds eye view is wonderful!

We talked about the Provo Tabernacle in Sunday School two weeks ago, and I felt smart being able to share some of the information I have picked up from you post. Thank you!

In past posts, you mentioned that some of the filled in windows will actually become windows with glass—specifically the sealing rooms on the top floor. When will this be done? Will all of the “filled in” windows end up having glass? For instance, will the two windows in picture 30 of 34 with the caption “Look straight through the tower window and you'll see him again” eventually have glass? <br />Thanks so much!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14777506515290986427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-7349852033368837092013-10-11T21:23:30.813-06:002013-10-11T21:23:30.813-06:00The wall around the temple will not be marble pane...The wall around the temple will not be marble panels. I have a memory that it will be brick which is being built now. I wonder where the tabernacle sign is. I suspect it will end up in a museum, but I'll see what I can learn.

And then marble panels with a tabernacle sign. Are those to be reused ?dSquaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716592610911040703noreply@blogger.com
