Built to serve as a Latter-day Saint church building and school, it replaced a c.1888 log church and a c.1890 log school. It was built by Frank J. Weber, who operated a hotel and livery stable business. [2]
It is a vernacular one-story stone building with a gable roof, built upon a stone foundation. Its exterior walls are random ashlar, made of local sandstone. Two exterior chimneys were added later, perhaps in the 1950s. [2]
Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock composed mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments.
It also served as a civic center/town hall, as well as the only school in Hanksville for a while. A new stone school was built next door in 1920, and the meetinghouse continued to serve as a church until a chapel was built elsewhere in the town in 1967. [2]
It is one of only 20 "first period" Mormon meetinghouses surviving, and one of only three of those that had multiple functions/purposes and have not been greatly altered since. [2]
It is located at 100 S. Center St.?
