History

Clubhouse was home to the Ladies' Literary Club (est. 1877), the oldest women's only social club west of the Mississippi River. The LLC was a forward thinking group of wealthy non-mormon women who focused on self-education through studies of literature, politics, history, art, drama, and poetry. Over time social clubs fell out of fashion and in 2013 the club donated the building to Preservation Utah, a non-profit focused on historic preservation. After rejecting several offers on the building, Preservation Utah accepted an offer from the local small business Photo Collective Studios who promised to keep the doors open to the public as a venue for creative arts and entertainment. Clubhouse hosts events ranging from weddings and parties to educational workshops and retreats.
