It's a pity that the Springville Second Ward building was burned down, but at least these items are present in this building as a reminder of our heritage.

Dry Creek Stake: Stained Glass Windows Detail
See the last post on the Dry Creek Stake Center for details on the historic windows. They were reshaped and installed in this building, and they are lovely. I am so glad they were saved.

Dry Creek Stake
(Source: Church History Library)
The Springville Second Ward was built in 1904 and renovated and rededicated (by President Hinckley) on March 1, 1998. It was a beautiful building, and I wish I had some pictures of the interior.
In 2006, an arsonist burned the church down. It was a tragic loss for the community. However, four stained glass windows and the pipe organ was saved. When the Dry Creek Stake Center was built in 2010, the windows and organ were installed in the otherwise normal, standard-plan building.
The stained glass windows are at the front of the chapel. I will be posting more pictures of them shortly.
