Copperton is a small town located at the mouth of Bingham Canyon, close to the Kennecott Copper Mine. In fact, the town was started by the Utah Copper Company as a city for its employees. The town’s chapel was completed in the late 1940s.
The original design was pretty attractive, with the low steeple. I’m not sure the new steeples that have replaced it match as well.

The chapel and cultural hall are perpendicular to the rest of the building. The main entrance is at the corner of these two segments. While I’ve seen this floor plan before (like in the recently documented Lake Shore Ward), the carvings around the main entrance and chapel are unique.
It’s reminiscent of an art deco style, and some moon stones are carved into the pillars as well.
