In 1886 a building was constructed by Nicholos Paul, it was used as school and church. Millard County furnished the bell which was put in the tower, it cracked the 3rd time it was rang. On February 27, 1899 one & one fifth acres of ground was sold to Leamington Ward and the Relief Society for the sum of $30.00 by B.P. and Josephine Textorious. In 1903 a church building began with bricks from the old smelter. The building was finished in 1910 and dedicated June 1911 by Francis M. Lyman. The Bell then was placed in the tower of the new building and served the community each Sunday morning for many years. In 1952 the Bell was taken down by the Leamington Boy Scouts Troop No. 149. It was welded and repaired by William Stanley Bradfield and reinstalled. It was in service for sometime, when the church was remodeled in 1970 the Bell was taken down and put into storage. The City of Leamington purchased this Historic Building and Amusement Hall, with four acres of land and two shares of water.
