L.D.S. Ward Building
The L.D.S. Ward Building in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho was built in 1933. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1] It was deemed significant "as an excellent example of early 20th century Tudor Revival design" and as "a significant work of a regionally important master architect, Miles E. Miller of Salt Lake City".[2] It served as the church building for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (L.D.S.) local ward (parish/congregation). It is a one-story, Tudor Revival style building with an L-shaped plan. It is built of ashlar limestone upon a high poured-in-place concrete foundation.[2] It has a cedar roof, coming to ends at three gables, each including detailing of half-timbering and plaster. One of the gables is clipped like a jerkinhead. It has a rear courtyard from which a large limestone chimney rises.[2] It was sold by the L.D.S. ward in 1996; the new owners renamed it as Greystone Manor and reopened it as a bed and breakfast and wedding chapel and reception venue.[2] It is still in operation as that in 2019.[3] The building has also served as a community center, such as for a pumpkin-carving festival in 2012.[4] It is located at 187 S. 2nd Ave. in Lava Hot Springs.[2] References
