The Church Administration Building (CAB) is an administrative office building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), the fourth-largest Christian denomination in the United States. Serving as its headquarters and located in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, the building is adjacent to Temple Square, between the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and the Lion House, on South Temple Drive. It differs from the Church Office Building in that it is much smaller and furnishes offices for the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. It also houses offices for other general authorities and their personal staff.
Constructed in 1917, the building only permits entry to church officials and their guests. The CAB has been used for meetings between church leaders and several political and community leaders, and has become a historic building for members of the LDS faith.

Famous quotes containing the words church and/or building:
“The Church must be forever building, for it is forever decaying within and attacked from without....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
