Relief Society Granary

The “Female Relief Society of Springtown,” a women’s organization of the LDS church, was responsible for building this two-level oolitic limestone structure. It was constructed on land belonging to Relief Society president Mary Ann Hyde, wife of LDS church apostle Orson Hyde. It may have been used jointly for grain storage and meetings of the society.

This one and one half story two room oolitic limestone structure was built for the “Female relief society of springtown” on land belonging to Mary Ann price hyde, trustee for the relief society. It was constructed in connection with the “Allred school” just to the east. Based on its vernacular design and upper room with gable end windows, the granary could date to 1870 when it was used for both food storage and relief society meetings. Architect Allen Roberts renovated the building in the 1980’s.
