Abandoned LDS church to benefit nonprofit groups

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse on the northwest corner of 100 South and 400 East used to be home to the 13th Ward in the Salt Lake Central Stake, according to a building directory inside the building. Built in 1951, mostly by members of the LDS Church, the three-story building with a green copper steeple housed congregants for decades before services moved to another chapel.

A partnership announced Wednesday between the American Cancer Society and Habitat for Humanity will put the church to good use.
