Sometime residence of FLDS fundamentalist religious sect leader Warren Jeffs, it's seemingly appropriate name is an ironic coincidence. It's actually named for the area near St. George, Utah where it was built: "Purgatory Flats". The title was given to the area by early mainstream Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints pioneers who had an extraordinarily difficult time crossing the very hot dry terrain in wagons.
