Red Brick Store

The Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Illinois, is a historically significant building constructed by Joseph Smith in 1841, serving as a hub for economic, political, and religious activities among the Latter Day Saints. It housed the church's headquarters and was the site of notable events, including the founding of the Female Relief Society and the first performance of the Nauvoo Endowment ordinance. After falling into disrepair post-Smith's death, it was rebuilt in 1980 and is now owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This site offers a glimpse into early Latter Day Saint history and its cultural impact.
