Red Brick Store

The Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Illinois, was a building constructed and owned by Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.

In addition to being a mercantile store, the second floor of the building was also for a period of time the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

"[1][2] A number of important events in Latter Day Saint history occurred in the Red Brick Store, including: After Joseph Smith was killed and the majority of Latter Day Saints left Nauvoo, the Red Brick Store fell into disrepair.

The reconstructed Red Brick Store is now owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which purchased the structure on March 5, 2024, as part of a larger sale of historically significant artifacts and properties by the Community of Christ.

[7] In Manti, Utah, the headquarters of the True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days is located in a building named the Red Brick Store in honor of Smith's original structure in Nauvoo.
