LDS Family Services staff moves into former playhouse

On 9 January 2004, LDS Family Services began moving its office into the first three floors of the renovated Promised Valley Playhouse.  The agency was previously located in the 12th floor of the Zions Bank Tower, which is being renovated.

The building was built in 1905 to house the city's first full-time vaudeville theater.  The LDS Church purchased the theater in 1972, but closed it in 1996 because of seismic concerns.  Renovation being too costly, the decision was made to replace the theater with a 425-stall parking garage.  Demolition of the auditorium began in September 2002, but the facade, lobby, and office area was saved.
