The Boise Tabernacle was a community gathering place in Boise, Idaho. The multi-purpose religious building was designed by Don Carlos Young, grandson of Church president Brigham Young, and constructed in 1924–1925.
The The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sold the building to the local school district. Years after, the school district razed the building. The building's asbestos and lead paint led to the district's decision to demolish instead of remodel it.
It was the first substantial church built by Latter-day Saints in Boise and was the only Boise building with detailed Colonial or Georgian revival architecture. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but federal law does not require the school district to give public notice of demolition plans.
