[1] The Greek Orthodox community of Salt Lake City organized in 1905 to form its first church, becoming the 14th Greek Orthodox parish community in the United States and the oldest between the Mississippi River and the Pacific coast.

After an initial meeting in January, the community acquired a site for a church at 439 West 400 South and obtained a loan for construction.

The original building was sold and the site of the current Holy Trinity Cathedral, at Third South and Second West, was acquired.

Design was by a local architecture firm, Pope and Burton, in collaboration with a Greek architect from Chicago, N. A.

[2] Holy Trinity Cathedral underwent a major renovation between 1997 and 2005, at a cost of $4.2 million.
