This LDS Chapel was built in the 1890 in the mining town of Granite, Utah.
Originally a red brick building, this Victorian Romanesque Revival church was painted white around 1950. The floor plan is a simple rectangle design with a 1938 rear office addition. In 1965, a new and larger building was completed north of here. The original cornerstone was moved to the new meetinghouse and the Granite Chapel ceased being used as a religious structure.
In 1966, sculptor Avard Fairbanks purchased the building for $2,000 and used the building as his art studio until his death in 1987. His son now owns the building and uses it to store the works of his father. It is gated and closed to the public.
This building is on the National Register of Historic Places.
