Built around 1879, the Centerville First Ward is one of the oldest LDS chapels that is still in use. Built of rock, it had one main assembly room and a small two-story vestry.
The building has undergone a number of renovation since then. Stucco covered the walls, and a wing was added to the sides of the chapel in the 1920s.
In 1951 a cultural hall was added on the north side, and a lobby with a steeple was also added, giving the building its current appearance.

The building is in very good condition and the original chapel still has a wonderful historic feel to it. Interior pictures will be coming soon!
My dad was baptized in the building. I went here when the Centerville Singles Ward met in this building. Thank you for sharing.
