Built in 1902–03 at 151 E. State Street in Lehi, Utah, the People's Co-op Building is a Victorian commercial structure that served the People's Cooperative Mercantile Institution, which had occupied the site since 1872. Constructed of brick walls on an ashlar foundation, the building originally comprised 22,000 square feet of mercantile and warehouse space and was possibly built by local brick masons Andrew Fjeld and Charles Ohran. It was the first building in Lehi to feature a cement sidewalk and among the earliest to have electricity. The structure later housed various tenants, including a skating rink and furniture business, before being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. A mid-twentieth-century modification added an aluminum storefront glass wall to the ground level.
