Granite Stake Tabernacle

Granite Stake Tabernacle is a religious building constructed from red sandstone located at the corner of 33rd South and State Street. The structure contains large assembly halls and includes an additional chapel added in 1951 to accommodate different congregations.

Construction of the current building began in 1929 under architects Edward O. Anderson and Lorenzo Snow Young, completing in 1930. The structure has endured through decades of neighborhood changes and was later recognized for its historical and architectural importance.

The tabernacle serves as a meeting place for multiple congregations, bringing different communities together for worship and spiritual gatherings. It reflects how local religious groups have built roots in this neighborhood over generations.

The building sits at a corner intersection in the Sugar House district, making it straightforward to locate and approach. The layout provides clear access to the main assembly spaces and additional chapel areas for visitors.

The tabernacle received national historic designation in 2003, a recognition that did not have initial support from the main religious organization. This unexpected honor reflects the strong architectural merit of the 1930 design.
