COOL STUFF IN UTAH (Ep 11) presents - THE UTAH ART CASTLE

Hidden among the houses hear the Utah State Fairgrounds is a gothic style building that from the late 1800s to the 1960s was the 15th Ward Chapel for members of The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. Shortly after that, it became a recording studio. And by that, we mean a BIG recording studio. BB King, Dolly Parton, even used recently to record Eminem and The Backstreet Boys. Not only that several famous movie scores have been laid down right inside this small church once used by the pioneers on Sunday Mornings.

Recently, LA East Studios vacated the old building, and a small group of Utah Art Enthusiasts are hoping to preserve it with a new roof, and a new name. The Utah Art Castle. But before they do that, Jon Smith wanted to go in and snoop around.
