Memorials
Dedicated in 1997, the Hmong and Lao Memorial pays homage to the Hmong and Laos veterans who fought alongside the United States during the Vietnam War.

Located in the center of the Salt Lake City immigrant district, the church served Greek miners, railroad and smelter workers and their families. Architects for the building were the local firm of Pope and Burton working with a Greek architect from Chicago, N.A. Dokas.
