This oolitic limestone chapel was designed by architect
Richard C. Watkins of Provo and built between 1902-1911.
John F. Bohlin supervised masons Jens J. Carlson, Jens.
Sorensen and Lars Larsen. Emil Erickson and two men from
Mt. Pleasant were the principal carpenters. The building
cost $40,000 and was dedicated by Anton H. Lund, counselor
to Joseph F. Smith on March 15, 1914. It was remodeled
in 1939. An addition to the north, containing a cultural hall
and other rooms, was constructed of matching limestone in
the 1970s.This was the LDS church’s first preservation and
addition to a chapel rather than replacing the historic building
with a new chapel. It is currently listed among the LDS
church’s top 15 historic buildings.
