Throughout the winter, considerable time was spent with the Church architect in planning the Stake Tabernacle. Finally in December of 1936, a contract was given to the Haslan Contracting Company of Salt Lake City, Utah, for the remodeling and building additions to the Stake Tabernacle. The project was to cost approximately $23,000. During 1937, and the first part of 1938, all stake conferences were held in the Morgan High School building because the Tabernacle was under construction. Work on the Tabernacle was stopped in October 1937, because of lack of finances. At the time the Tabernacle was about fifty percent completed. Work resumed slowly on the Tabernacle. However, in May, 1938, the Quarterly conference was again held in the Tabernacle. The Tabernacle was dedicated on Jury 10, 1938, by President Heber J. Grant.
