Murray LDS 1st Ward Meetinghouse
The Murray LDS First Ward Meetinghouse, the old Murray Library and the Mount Vernon Academy are located on Vine Street in Murray, Utah in the Murray Downtown Historic District. These buildings really stand out with their gorgeous architecture.
Built in 1907, this has been a landmark for Murray and lately there is talk of demolishing it. (update, it was demolished March 11th 2020)
I was able to stop by when they had the building open for a fundraising tour, see the video and photos of that on this page: Interior Tour of the Murray First Ward Chapel
Located next door is the Murray Carnegie Library.
Jacob,
The historic picture posted here is not of the same church but of the second ward located on Commerce Drive.
The demolition was denied in court. These buildings are for sale now and prospective buyers are wanting to restore them to their deserved integrity.
Our group, Preserve Murray, is working diligently for these buildings to be iconic landmarks as part of Murray’s downtown redevelopment.
