First Presbyterian Church, Salt Lake City
The First Presbyterian Church of Salt Lake City was founded in 1873. The current church building was constructed in 1903. The red sandstone building is a landmark on South Temple Street with beautiful stained-glass windows.
Walter E. Ware designed the Gothic Revival structure, with its low square tower and patterned on the cathedral church of Carlyle, England. The exterior was built of locally quarried red butte stone with hard stone trim. First occupied in 1905, the congregation substantially enlarged, renovated, and modernized it in 1956.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as a contributing building in the South Temple Historic District.
