The Hanksville Meetinghouse-School, at 18 South Center Street in Hanksville, Utah, was built starting around 1911 and completing around 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
Built to serve as a Latter-day Saint church building and school, it replaced a c.1888 log church and a c.1890 log school. It was built by Frank J. Weber, who operated a hotel and livery stable business.[2]
It is a vernacular one-story stone building with a gable roof, built upon a stone foundation. Its exterior walls are random ashlar, made of local sandstone. Two exterior chimneys were added later, perhaps in the 1950s.[2]
It also served as a civic center/town hall, as well as the only school in Hanksville for a while. A new stone school was built next door in 1920, and the meetinghouse continued to serve as a church until a chapel was built elsewhere in the town in 1967.[2]
It is one of only 20 "first period" Mormon meetinghouses surviving, and one of only three of those that had multiple functions/purposes and have not been greatly altered since.[2]
