History

First Church of Christ, Scientist, was organized on July 17, 1891, and was the first Christian Science church in Utah. The church building, designed by local architect, Walter E. Ware, in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, was built in 1898 of brick and Utah Kyune sandstone. After being completely paid for, it was dedicated on November 27, 1898.[2][3]

Current use

The Christian Science Church left the building in 2002.[4] After being used for a time by Anthony's Fine Art and Antiques, the building is once again being used as a church.[5] Iglesia La Luz del Mundo has used the building since about 2006.[6]
