The Emery LDS Church, built in 1898-1900, is the oldest remaining religious building in Emery County. Its construction technique, a wood frame sheathed with clapboard and lined with adobe bricks, is distinctive and unusual for turn-of-the-century Mormon churches. Its Greek Revival style appears in the symmetrical principal facade, cornice returns, transoms, and pedimented window heads. The church was constructed under the direction of Bishop Alonzo Brinkerhoff. Services were held in the chapel upon its completion in 1900, and it was dedicated on July 17, 1902 by Apostle Rudger Clawson. It served the town of Emery until 1956, when a multipurpose chapel was dedicated. In 1967, the building was purchased by the city for use as a town meeting and recreation hall.
