National Register of Historic Places Federal list of historic sites in the United States

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property.

It is a one-story square red brick building with a pyramid roof, built upon a coursed ashlar foundation. It has a projecting gabled pavilion with a flat arched opening on its symmetrical front facade, with attached pilasters. A small domed cupola surmounts the roof. [2]

Ashlar Finely dressed stone and associated masonry

Ashlar is finely dressed stone, either an individual stone that was worked until squared or the structure built from it. Ashlar is the finest stone masonry unit, generally rectangular cuboid, mentioned by Vitruvius as opus isodomum, or less frequently trapezoidal. Precisely cut "on all faces adjacent to those of other stones", ashlar is capable of very thin joints between blocks, and the visible face of the stone may be quarry-faced or feature a variety of treatments: tooled, smoothly polished or rendered with another material for decorative effect.

In architecture, a cupola is a relatively small, most often dome-like, tall structure on top of a building. Often used to provide a lookout or to admit light and air, it usually crowns a larger roof or dome.

It served as a tithing building for the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was built to a standard plan for tithing offices produced in about 1905, one of at least three standard plans; the Sandy Tithing Office (also surviving and NRHP-listed) and tithing offices in Manti and Panguitch are nearly identical, and the Hyrum Stake Tithing Office (also surviving and NRHP-listed) is very similar. [2]

Tithing buildings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are storehouses related to tithing by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
