Murray LDS Second Ward Meetinghouse

Built in 1909, the Murray LDS Second Ward Meetinghouse served as a religious and social venue for Murray residents between the railroad tracks and the Jordan River and from the north to the south boundaries of the city. In 1977, the Alano Club purchased the building to operate a 12-step recovery program. It is also significant as a well-preserved example of a meetinghouse influenced by the Gothic Revival style, a popular style for Mormon meetinghouses in the Salt Lake Valley during the first decade of the twentieth century. Its key features include an asymmetrical T-shape floor plan, a square entrance tower with crenellated parapet, and Gothic-arched windows. The building retains its historic architectural integrity and is an important contributing historic resource of Murray, Utah.
