Five weeks after Armistice Day on 11 November 1918, W.A. Knight first proposed a Lehi Soldier’s, Sailor’s and Marine’s Memorial Building. Architects Walter E. Ware and Alberto O. Treganza, under the direction of Mayor Sydney Gilchrist, designed the three-section structure to include a memorial hall in the center, a City Hall in the south section, and a Carnage Library in the north section. The library was dedicated on 30 December 1921 during Mayor James H. Gardner’s administration, and the rest of the building was completed during the administration of Mayor Joseph S. Broadbend. Dedication services for the $55,000 center, the first municipal facility in America erected to the memory of World War I veterans, were held on Memorial Day, 31 May 1926. Since then, the building has hosted many civic, community, and religious functions, including the W.P.A., Alpine School District, the Lehi 2nd Ward, the Lehi 5th Ward, American Red Cross, Alpine Soil Conservation District, the Ground Observation Corps, the National Rifle Association, the Lehi Junior Wildlife Association, the Lehi National Guard, the Lehi Senior Citizens Center, and Lehi American Legion Post 19. Its municipal section has housed City Hall, two jails, a fire station, the Lehi Ambulance Association, and the Lehi Police Department, and the building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is being restored as the future home of the John Hutchings Museum.
