Teasdale Ward

The small town of Teasdale (near Capitol Reef National Park) has had its share of beautiful worship buildings. The Church purchased land in 1885 (for $9.99) for the first building, and it was built around 1890. A neighboring school was built in 1912. Here are both side by side:

The school was later torn down. A new chapel was built next door, built over the course of a decade, from 1937 to 1947. It was known as the "little white chapel."

Unfortunately, this building was demolished in 2014. Now all that's left standing is the original building, now owned by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers organization.
