It is a "modest" building; it was labeled "Victorian" in style in its National Register nomination, but no Victorian features are identified.[2]
It was deemed notable as "one [of] the oldest known original Relief Society Halls existing in Utah." It served as a Relief Society building until 1904, then used as a schoolhouse until around 1919. It was purchased by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers in 1919 and served as the DUP's meeting place until 1959. In 1996 it was under renovation for it to serve as a museum and again as a DUP meeting place.[2]
