Performing Ordinances in Other Buildings
From 1855 to 1889 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints performed ordinances in the Endowment House to allow members to receive the endowment during construction of temples in Utah after leaving Nauvoo. Before the Endowment House was built, the Council House was similarly used, between 1850 and 1855.
