"This book contains two parts: a brief history of Salt Lake City's downtown area; and histories and architectural descriptions of the historic buildings, nearly one hundred in all, in the section of the downtown between South Temple and Fourth South and Second East and Sixth West streets. A variety of buildings are included: the "grand" buildings of the rich, the famous, the influential, and the privileged; modest commercial structures; warehouses; churches; large and small hotels; former brothels; and buildings that were once part of various ethnic neighborhoods. Deeply woven into the fabric of the community, all of them are
important elements in understanding the history of Salt Lake City and have a way of making that history come alive."
