In pioneer days, the block on which this building stands was used for all community outdoor gatherings. On the northwest corner, the first schoolhouse in south Morgan was built when in 1866 the people taxed themselves to erect the building. In 1885, on the south half of the block, the first city and county courthouse was finished. It was used for dances, entertainments, home of Weber College, as well as a city and county building. This edifice was completed March 12, 1950 and dedicated April 26, 1953.
