Preservation Update: St. George Flood Street Chapel Sold

I'm a bit behind on this one, but was saddened to hear that the St. George Flood Street Chapel (also known as the St. George 5th Ward) was sold in October.


I'm disappointed to hear this; the chapel, built in 1951, was really lovely, and I loved the placement of paintings on the front chapel wall. The building has already been sold, and it almost certainly will be demolished.

  1. I was raised in St. George. Although I did not attend church in this building history I've been in it and it was in one of my stakes growing up.

  2. Do we know who bought this building?

    1. Haven't heard any word on who bought it. I also messaged the stake presidency and they said they don't know if the paintings will be saved by the Church or not.
