Church Administration Building, Administrative headquarters in Salt Lake City, United States.
The Church Administration Building stands adjacent to Temple Square, featuring 24 Ionic granite pillars that frame its Neoclassical white exterior.
The structure was built between 1914 and 1917 under the direction of architect Joseph Don Carlos Young to serve as the central office for church operations.
The building functions as the primary workplace for the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The granite blocks used in construction were sourced from Little Cottonwood Canyon, the same quarry that provided materials for the Salt Lake Temple.
Each of the 24 Ionic columns weighs eight tons and consists of solid granite, supporting the four-story structure with its marble and onyx interior.
