Constructed in 1871-72 of local oolitic limestone, this Greek Revival style building is one of the remaining examples of the more than 120 cooperative mercantiles established by the LDS church between 1868 and 1878. Its first floor became an important part of Ephraim's economy, beginning as a co-op, then as a United Order store, and later serving for farm implement sales, a car repair garage, and finally as part of Ephraim Roller Mill after a new addition connected it to the Relief Society granary to the south. That use continued into the 1950s, and after decades of neglect, the building was restored in 1989-90. The second floor also served many purposes, including a social hall, theater, Relief Society hall, and the first home of Sanpete Stake Academy, predecessor of Snow College, when it began in 1888.
