2017-08-03 - Updated by Landon Durrant, who has heard or played the organ. <br> <br>This organ is in amazing condition and is used irregularly. The room it sits in accompanies the organ perfectly. I have played it a few times and I enjoyed every second of it. -Database Manager
2018-07-03 - The Joseph Smith Memorial Building was completed in 1911 as the Hotel Utah, one of the finest hotels west of the Mississippi; it was a 50/50 partnership between the Mormon Church and non-Mormon investors; over the years as further financial investment was needed for periodic renovation, the church's percentage grew considerably; they closed the hotel in 1987 and, after considerable renovation and remodeling, re-opened the building in 1993 as the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. -Database Manager
