The Johnson Hall–Deseret Mercantile Building, located at 4 W. Main St. in Grantsville, Utah is a side-by-side pair of buildings dating from c.1890 and c.1898, that were connected together in 1953. It has also been known as the Johnson Building, the Grantsville Bank, the Gransville Post Office, and the Gransville Drugstore. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1]

The building has significant historical associations with multiple periods of Grantsville's history, and "is architecturally significant for a unity of design (although the two buildings were constructed several years apart) and rich detail in the brickwork. The building is an excellent example of Victorian Eclectic ornamentation in a turn-of-the-century commercial block." It was built by contractor/mason James Jensen, a mason and contractor.[2]
