Laketown Ward: Interior Details

Similar to the Herriman Ward's building, the Laketown Ward's exterior was well-preserved, but the interior is completely redone. The front half of the building on the main floor is the primary room (see below), and the rest of it is divided into small classrooms. I couldn't really find any historical features that were kept.


Meanwhile, I also hopped next door to the 1920s cultural hall to photograph the interior.



This ward (like most other wards around Bear Lake) is so busy in the summer, nearly every room is set up with chairs and video so everyone can participate in sacrament meeting.


The cultural hall even has some classrooms above the main entrance and behind the stage. I really like the feel of this complex of buildings, although I wish some more historical features could have been preserved from the original chapel's interior.

    Did you perhaps get any photo(s) of the chapel. I was just wondering what the inside of the newer chapel looked like.

      Unfortunately I didn't. I walked through it, but it was packed (summer services up there are crazy). It's all modern except for some wood supports along the ceiling and the plain stained glass at the front.

      Nice find! Now that Manti and St. George have been done, sounds like Logan is up next!
