SALT LAKE CITY — LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson made an appearance at the dedication of a historic building being named after him.
The newly renovated Enos Wall Mansion at 400 East and South Temple was renamed the “Thomas S. Monson Center,” after the 89-year-old leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Previously, the historic mansion housed the LDS Business College. It will house the University of Utah’s Kem Gardner Policy Institute, which will focus on economic and public policy.
