Assembly Hall

The Assembly Hall, on the southwest corner of Temple Square, is a smaller, more church-like building than its neighbours — a Victorian-Gothic chapel of grey granite with six spires that echo the larger spires of the Temple opposite. It was built between 1877 and 1882 from granite left over from the Temple construction.

The interior is a single open hall with a balcony and a stage at the south end. Free recitals — chamber music, organ pieces, choral programmes — are given on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the year, and the building is open to visitors during temple-square hours. It is the most intimate of the historic Temple Square buildings and worth ducking into for a few minutes.
