Ladies Literary Club Clubhouse

The Ladies Literary Club Clubhouse is a building on South Temple Street that displays horizontal lines and uses natural materials in the Prairie School style. It contains multiple rooms designed to host events, conferences, and gatherings of various kinds.

The building was designed in 1913 by the architectural firm Ware & Treganza, bringing this modern style to Utah. It was later added to the National Register of Historic Places to recognize its historical importance.

This place served as a gathering space where women came together to read, discuss ideas, and support one another's intellectual growth. The club reflects how women carved out their own rooms for learning and conversation during an era when such spaces were rare.

The building today functions as an event venue managed by Photo Collective Studios and is available for various purposes. Visitors should plan ahead since it is primarily used for private events and special occasions.

The building is protected by a preservation easement that safeguards its original architectural features both inside and outside. This makes it a rare example where historical details have remained intact across generations.
