In 1849 the Church created 19 wards in Salt Lake City. Many of those still remain (which is why there are so many "Salt Lake # Ward" posts on this blog). I visited the Salt Lake 11th Ward, which used to have a much more unique building, constructed around 1911:
Unfortunately it was replaced, likely in the 1970s or 1980s. The exterior is OK, but the interior is unique and I'll highlight that in my next post.
The current 11th Ward chapel was built before 1962. I am guessing 1960. I was a freshman in 1962 at the University of Utah and it was there then. I lived in the ward but chose to attend a student ward.
