Idaho Falls Fifth Ward: Interior

 I originally posted exterior photos of this building in 2018; now I got some interior photos. 

The carvings and moldings on the building's exterior continue into the chapel's space. Carved geometric shapes line the chapel walls--these are largely where windows used to be. (All of the windows were originally covered in renovations; two have been restored.) Carvings also run along the ceiling. On the stand are two small doors; one led to a closet, and the other led to a bishop's office (now used as a classroom).


The cultural hall has some details around the stage as well. In the 1990s, the building received a large addition behind the cultural hall that was sensitive to the building's original architecture.

  1. I recently saw a for sale sign at a Blackfoot Idaho chapel you posted about a while back.

    1. Oh no! You're right. It looks like it no longer houses any wards. I really liked that one, too.
