I don't see anything in the Scriptures to indicate that the Tabernacle at Shiloh was anything more than the tent used by the Israelites in the wilderness. It wasn't until the 1st Temple was built by Solomon that it had a permanent structure:

"Now when the king dwelt in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies round about, the king [David] said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.” And Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.” (2 Samuel 7:1-3)

Well there’s this, although the roof might be a case of artistic license 😀:

***

Modern Shilo built its synagogue to resemble the ancient Mishkan (tabernacle).

**..the king [David] said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.”..**

Good job sir! I was about to look that passage up and post it.

I'm a member of ABR (the organization doing this dig). Their latest magazine has several articles relating to this dig and the artifacts being found there. In one Dr. Stripling writes "From my reading of I Samuel 3 and two passages in the Mishnah, I knew there was a strong possibility that the Israelites replaced the Mishkan (sacred tent) with a permanent building, but I had no idea if anything remained [or] where on the site..." He goes on to state the the word "temple" used in I Sam. 3 suggests a permanent structure and "doors" and "house" in 3:15 suggest a more solid structure than a tent. Not a proof, but suggestive of a permanent structure.

The Mishnah passages are more plain, speaking of a house of stone with hangings as the resting place of the Ark, and a "sanctuary with stone walls covered by tapestries."

There might be material on their website on this as well: Associates for Biblical Research
