Interior view of the Tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon Tabernacle), in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Tabernacle is decorated probably for the ratification of Utah as a state in 1896. United States flags hang from the ceiling as well as from the wooden structure surrounding the pipe organ. A banner decorated with a large star and reads "Utah" spans two large organ pipes. Banners hang from and behind balconies as well as from the low wooden wall separating the seated choir from the pews.
