Price City, UtahHISTORY
[Were there two buildings, or was this all one building?]The Price City Chapel was built in 1876. The building was used for both church and school.
In 1880, the Price Ward members bought Robert Gardner's rock home for $1,042.00. They used it to hold their church meetings and social events. They raised the money by voluntary subscriptions: Robert Gardner $75, Samuel Miles and sons $100, Archibald Sullivan and son Joseph John $100, Nephi R. Fawcett $60, and William Webb, William F. Butler, William H. Carpenter, Tarlton Blair, William Atkin, Henry Atkin, David H. Cannon, and Jonathan Platt $50 each. Others gave smaller amounts.
In 1908, the building was torn down and the rocks used to build the Wallace & Isadore Blake home across the river in Bloomington.
