Historic Ladies’ Literary Clubhouse in Salt Lake City is competing in online contest for preservation funds

The elegant Ladies’ Literary Clubhouse on South Temple in Salt Lake City, built in 1913 to host readings, recitals and parties, is competing for a portion of a $2 million grant fund for historic preservation.

Now known as Clubhouse on South Temple, the building would become “truly accessible to all communities for the first time in its history” if it wins a grant to repair its sinking front porch and stairs and add a wheelchair ramp, according to its entry in Partners in Preservation: Main Streets.

Supporters can vote online, submitting up to five votes a day, through Oct.
