A "Ward House" usually referrs to a church or meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). A Mormon congregation is called a "Ward", and so the building that houses the ward is often called a "Ward House". Church members may also refer to them as "meetinghouses", "churches", and "chapels".
Similarily, a "Stake House" or "Stake Center" is a large church or meetinghouse which contains offices for a geographical group of congregations - a stake is similar to a Catholic diocese.
Many community gatherings and activities, as well as worship services and religious education classes, are held in ward houses and stake centers.

Who attends the ward in the Joseph Smith building?
As of August 2016, two wards and two branches meet in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Temple Square. These are the Canyon Road Ward, the Eighteenth Ward, the Salt Lake 2nd Branch, and the Ensign 3rd Branch. The Canyon Road Ward boundaries are northeast of Temple Square and east of the State Capitol, in the area of City Creek Canyon. The Eighteenth Ward boundaries are just east of Temple Square in the lower Avenues (1st Ave and A Street) and along South Temple. The Salt Lake 2nd Branch is actually part of the Salt Lake Stake and not the Ensign Stake like the other congregations. The boundaries are immediately west of Temple Square. The Ensign 3rd Branch is for Spanish-speaking members of the Ensign Stake.
