Twelfth Ward: Chapel Interior

This chapel has a very unique arrangement: The sacrament table is in the middle on the floor. The podium is to the right; on the left is a choir loft. The organ is in the center (behind the sacrament table), but the piano is off to the left.

Two, small stained-glass windows are on either side of the rostrum.

Meanwhile, at the back, some partitions can be lifted to provide overflow space for worship services. This is a really interesting building.

Built in 1940-41, the Twelfth Ward has a rather unique floor plan, especially in the chapel interior. I'll have that in my next post.

Stratford Ward: Stained Glass Details

There are some beautiful stained glass panels above the main entrance. These are not original to the building; they are not there in earlier photos. I talked with some members of the ward and they say it was added in the past 20 years or so.

The building has some resemblance to the Fairview North Ward and Cedar City First Ward chapels in its floor plan: A chapel in the middle, the cultural hall off to the left, and a bishop's office connected to the chapel.

A gate now stop people from entering in through the chapel door (and where the Bishop's office used to be).

Yalecrest Ward: Interior

Sliding doors divide the chapel from an overflow room, and then from the cultural hall. In the overflow room is a small storage closet that leads to a space in (or near) the tower.

Yalecrest Ward

Built in 1936, the Yalecrest Ward was built in the art deco style.

On the south side, a monument pays tribute to the silk industry of the early settlers.
