While the first Sermon for the First Methodist Episcopal Church in Salt Lake was held in the Mormon tabernacle in 1868 on the invitation of the Brigham Young, the first worship services for the church were held in a room above an unfinished hayloft. A site was secured for a permanent church in 1871 but it would be another 34 years before the church would be completed. The building was designed by prominent Utah architect, Frederick Albert Hale who designed a great many of the still-extant mansions and businesses from that period in Salt Lake. The church has not been modified and looks today, as it did when originally constructed.
