An interior view of the ceiling reveals arched trusses set inside a center ring and bearing the weight of the building. John H. Cilley, self-made architect and carpenter and winner of Pennsylvania Chautauqua's auditorium design in 1892, designed the Mt. Lebanon tabernacle to withstand the weight of the roof without any central posts.
