The historic Wells Ward meetinghouse, built in 1926, could face demolition as soon as May 27.
The Wells Ward chapel was named after Daniel H. Wells, the property’s former owner and the third mayor of Salt Lake City.
The chapel’s bas-relief was preserved by architectural conservators, Caso added, and a time capsule from the building was given to the Church History Library. The chapel, built for $45,000, was put up for sale by the church in December 2022, nearly three years after the 2020 earthquaketo the point it was “beyond repair,” Caso said. When it was listed, the church said any new owners would need to demolish the structure to ensure public safety., but the deal fell through. It is unclear who was in talks to purchase the property, but Caso said the Utah-based faith plans to hold onto the land for future use or another sale.
