The Ogden Pioneer Tabernacle was too small by the 1920s

"OGDEN Tabernacle too small to hold crowds gathered to hear addresses of Church officials" was an April 19, 1920 headline in the Ogden Standard-Examiner.
Just like a similar problem at the same time in Salt Lake City's Tabernacle, the two edifices were too small for high number of Church members in the area.

The Standard reported that extra chairs were added to the Tabernacle and so some 1,200 people were in the building, some 200 more than it was supposed to hold. But there were still hundreds standing outside. The Standard reporter stated that the Ogden Tabernacle had outgrown its usefulness for conferences.
However, it would still be 36 years before any relief came.
 On February 12, 1956, Ogden did receive a new Tabernacle, the last such new tabernacles to be built in the church (not counting the future Conference Center in Salt Lake).
