The Sugar House LDS Ward Building is a Colonial Revival church at 1950 South 1200 East in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County. Built from 1924 to 1926 and dedicated in 1927, it was designed by architect Joseph Don Carlos Young and built by Franz Salzner.
Why it's listed
It was listed in the National Register in 2003 under criteria A and C, with local-level significance in social history and architecture.
Physical character
The foundation is concrete, and the granite and brick walls carry a cast stone belt course, pilasters and quoins. A single-story colonnaded portico with Tuscan order columns and a flat pediment fronts the U-shaped building's two gabled wings. The original roof was replaced with asphalt shingles and a library was added in 1974, and an arched dormer over the entrance portico was removed in a 1987 roofing project.
Historical context
The Sugar House Ward was organized in 1854, and its western part split off in 1877 to form Farmer's Ward. The ward bought land from the Wheeler and Hodgson families in 1923, and in 1928 part of the ward split off to create Lincoln Ward. By 2002 the building served as an LDS student Institute of Religion for Westminster College.
