After forming the first Sunday School class for the Deaf in Salt Lake City 19th Ward in 1892, Deaf Latter-day Saints moved to the old Ogden Fourth Ward for services when the at the School for the Deaf moved to Ogden in 1896. The Ogden Branch for the Deaf was the first dedicated Deaf unit in the Church, organized in 1917 and presided over by President Max Woodbury for fifty-one years, the longest serving branch president in the history of the Church.
The Branch served hundreds of faculty and students who worked and resided at the Utah School for the Deaf in a classic arts and crafts style chapel designed by Leslie Hodgson in 1916. After eighty-plus years in this building, the first to be specifically designed for Deaf members, the ODB moved to a new stake and building in January 1999.
