Fort Douglas Officers Club

First constructed in 1875 as Fort Douglas Post Headquarters, this historic structure built of Red Butte sandstone was converted into an Officers Club in 1942. Again remodeled in the 1950s, it was the social center of Fort Douglas, where events of many kinds were held for more than half a century. Today, it carries on its tradition as a gathering place for the University of Utah and the community.

Fort Douglas was operated by the U. S. Army from 1862 to 1991. During the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, this and other Fort Douglas facilities were part of the games’ Athletes Village, where Utah welcomed visitors and athletes from around the world. Today, the fort’s historic and new structures comprise Fort Douglas Heritage Commons, a living and learning center for the University of Utah, which continues to welcome community participation.
