The Fifth Ward Meetinghouse is a historic structure in Salt Lake City, Utah. The 1910 building was designed by architects Cannon & Fetzer and remodeled in 1937; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. [2] [1] There was a historic marker on the building. [3] It was also an official Salt Lake City Landmark site. The building was constructed to be and functioned as meetinghouse for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until 1975.
After its sale by the church it went through several uses, including as concert venue The Pompadour in the 1990s, hosting bands such as Nirvana. [3] It was also used as the Urgyen Samten Ling Gonpa Tibetan temple on the main floor and the Red Lotus School of Movement in the basement. [4]
The building was severely damaged in an illegal demolition on the morning of Easter, March 31, 2024. [5] When alerted, the city immediately posted a Stop Work Order at the site, issued to owner Jordan Atkin. [2] City codes dictate that an owner must restore the portion of the building already demolished due to its historic significance. [3]
