PORTERVILLE — Only the walls of the historic Porterville meetinghouse still stand, but those walls symbolize a once divided community that settled its differences.

Now, the site is up for sale.

Thomas Bergman currently owns the property. He paid $2,000 for the meetinghouse in 1975. His family restored it and then lived there until 2001, when one of the daughters left a candle burning in her fourth floor bedroom.

PROVO -- Firefighters battled a blaze Friday at the historic Provo Tabernacle in Utah.

Fire Battalion Chief Gary Jolley told the Daily Herald of Provo that crews have the fire, which broke out about 2:30 a.m., contained but not controlled.

"Firefighters (who are looking at the inside of the tabernacle) will just see a lot of rubble. The benches, the organ, whatever was in the building at the time is just probably all burned up ... total devastation inside with a shell surrounding it," Jolley told Fox 13.
