Tithing buildings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Tithing buildings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are storehouses related to tithing by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Richmond, Utah tithing office

These are places where Mormons delivered tithes, often in form of agricultural products.

There were at least 28 in Utah and at least one in Idaho, which functioned between 1850 and 1910 or so. These facilities served for church members to be able to collect, store, and distribute the farm products donated as tithing, for at the time, agricultural products comprised most of what many people worked for and earned. Serving as nodes for economic activity and welfare, some of these were vital buildings for many of the early inhabitants of Utah who were members of the LDS church.

A number of these survive and are significant as historic sites listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Some are termed granaries.
