Fifth Ward Meetinghouse
The Fifth Ward Meetinghouse is a historic building in Salt Lake City, Utah, at 740 S. 300 West. Built in 1910, it was designed by Cannon & Fetzer in Late Gothic Revival and Tudor Gothic styles and remodeled in 1937. The property covers about 0.48 acres.
It was constructed as a meetinghouse for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in that role until 1975. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 8, 1978, and it is also recognized as a Salt Lake City Landmark with a historic marker on site.
After the church sold it, the building had several uses, including as the concert venue The Pompadour in the 1990s, where bands such as Nirvana performed. The main floor housed the Urgyen Samten Ling Gonpa Tibetan temple, and the basement housed the Red Lotus School of Movement.
On Easter morning, March 31, 2024, the building was severely damaged by an illegal demolition. The city issued a Stop Work Order to owner Jordan Atkin, and city codes require the restoration of the portion that was demolished due to the building’s historic significance.
