Is that concrete?

No, it is some type of plaster finish. The addition to the original building was done with a matching stucco/EIFS finish.

There is a building in Cardston, Alberta. Build by the LDS church called the Social Center. Just west of Main St. on Second Ave. Looks similar to this Idaho Falls building. Flat roof with two levels. The top level was the chapel. The church sold the building to the town for one dollar several yrs ago.

I think the building you are referring to is now the Cardston Civic Center, which is on Third Avenue.
I found this old newspaper clipping online describing its dedication: http://digitallibrary.uleth.ca/utils/getarticleclippings/collection/sanews/id/7095/articleId/DIVL29/compObjId/7099/lang/en/dmtext/.
Note the picture and how little the exterior has changed over the years.
Cardston also once had a tabernacle on the same block as the Temple, as you can see in this undated photo: http://blog.calgarypubliclibrary.com/photos/postcards/images/404/original.aspx.

Jonathan…
How are you my friend?! I live just a half hour from this chapel. Would you like me to get some interior shots for you at some point? I’d be happy to do so, just let me know. Take care!

Jared – awesome. I got pics of the inside of this one while I was there, but there are others I will hit you up for that are in the area, if you can. I’ll send you an email.
