In 1859, to replace a log church house, Bishop Archibald Gardner chose Elias Morris as architect of this red sandstone and granite church. On May 15, 1861, the corner was laid. Proceeds from a military ball, attended by LDS authorities including Brigham Young, Fort Douglas officers and others, completed the $10.000 building. Dedicated August 11, 1867 by Wilford Woodruff. Leased and restored by Daughters of Utah Pioneers 1937.
