The Alrasool Islamic Center in Taylorsville is the recipient of a highly competitive $250,000 grant to help preserve the 19th-century building that serves as the central community hub for Wasatch Front’s Shiite Muslim community.
Northern Utah’s growing Shiite Muslim community got a $250,000 boost in its quest to preserve a historic Latter-day Saint chapel-turned-mosque., the award is conditional on the mosque’s ability to raise $400,000 on its own within the next year and a half or so.

“Buildings like this one were everything to a community like Taylorsville, which back then was a few scattered farmers west of the Jordan River, and to the families who lived in that remote corner of the valley,” Amott said. “It was their worship space and center of education, politics, entertainment, sport and other recreational activities. It was their everything building and how they pulled together and how they survived as a community.
This means that to unlock the check for a quarter of a million dollars, the Taylorsville Islamic center must raise nearly half a million dollars on its own. “This is such an important building to see saved,” Amott said, “from one generation of immigrants to another.”
