Memorial House At Memory Grove Park 

5.0

Salt Lake City, UT
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

The area which now comprises Memory Grove Park was set aside as a city park in 1902. The park however, remained unimproved until the 1920s when the women of the Salt Lake chapter of the Service Star Legion asked the city to designate the park as a memorial honoring America's soldiers and spearheaded the planting of trees and placement of monuments in the park. Memorial House was constructed around 1890 as a stable and equipment storage shed for contractor Patrick J. Moran. When Salt Lake City acquired the park area in 1902, the city's water department used the building as their barn, tool shed, and blacksmith shop as it was located directly across from the city's water intake structure on City Creek. In 1926, Salt Lake City leased the building to the Service Star Legion which planned to use it for veteran's activities and they renovated it to become an events center, there have been weddings held at Memorial House ever since. Now operated by Preservation Utah.

Welcome to The Hearth! The Hearth is Utah’s newest venue! This 1960’s historic building has been a home to many different owners. After finding it completely destroyed, windows broken, graffiti left and right, we saw great bones and couldn’t wait to make this special building into a place where people would start their futures together. We kept a lot of the vintage touches to the building while giving it a modern facelift.
