Description Address: 15 E S Temple, Salt Lake City. The Hotel Utah opened in 1911 and ran as a hotel until 1987. When its owner, the LDS Church, repurposed it for church offices, it was renamed the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. A historic ballroom was repurposed as a chapel and is the home of two wards, the old 19th Ward and the Canyon Road Ward. This makes the old hotel building as perhaps the church's largest ward house.
