Here are some of my favorite buildings throughout SLC (photos by me):
The Fuller Paint Building - it was renovated as Big D Construction& #39;s Headquarters in the early 00s and I& #39;m glad they saved it. Located just west of Pioneer Park, it& #39;s a a rare example of Art Deco in Salt Lake City.
The Wasatch Springs Bathhouse on 300 West - or, more known as the former Children& #39;s Museum. It& #39;s fallen into disrepair the last few years but it& #39;s a great example of Spanish Colonial architecture.
The Old Dutch Store& #39;s windmill in SugarHouse. It& #39;s been a staple in the community for years.
The Forest Dale 1st Ward chapel in SugarHouse. I love it. Designed by Samuel T Whitaker, it& #39;s most known for its dome that towers over the Forest Dale neighborhood (fun fact: Forest Dale used to be a town until 1912 when it was absorbed into Salt Lake City.
This power station in SugarHouse. I& #39;ve always thought it was so cool.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral in downtown - home to the Greek Orthodox Church. It& #39;s a beaut and the oldest such cathedral west of the Mississippi to the Pacific Coast. This area used to be known as Salt Lake& #39;s Greektown.
The B& #39;nai Israel Temple downtown. It was originally designed as a miniature version of Berlin& #39;s Fasanenstrasse Synagogue.
The old Public Safety Building - it& #39;s just a great example of international style architecture that has a fairly minor presence in Salt Lake - and a good portion of the interior west.
The Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church, located just across from Library Square. It was originally a Jewish church, built in 1903, but now I believe it& #39;s occupied by the Antiochian Orthodox Church.
This Russian Victorian in the Avenues neighborhood - in fact, I love so much of the architecture of the Avenues. I could do a single twitter thread just on that alone.
These old warehouses on Pierpont Ave.
The Frank E. Moss Courthouse.
It& #39;s a great example of Classical Revival. It was originally built as the Salt Lake Post Office. There is now a new federal courthouse.

The Kearns Building. The classical style was actually lifted from famous architect Louis Sullivan, the father of the skyscraper. But it was actually designed by John Parkinson & George Bergstrom. It was built in 1911 and named after Thomas Kearns, a former Utah senator.
The old New York Hotel. Built in 1906 as a luxury hotel, it now houses dining options - but is still a staple on Market Street.
The twin Boston & New House Buildings. These classics are located in Salt Lake& #39;s Exchange Place - one of the original non-LDS owned areas of the city (and the financial district). These buildings were Utah& #39;s first & #39;skyscrapers& #39; - built in 1915.
The City-County Building. Next to the LDS Temple, it may be the most impressive landmark the city has to offer - certainly one of the more majestic city halls in America. Built in 1894, there were talks in the 1980s of demolishing it and replacing it with a more modern city hall.
The Salt Lake Stock Exchange. A product of the Exchange Place (read above), this building used to house the Salt Lake stock exchange. It& #39;s now offices.
The Commercial Club Building - also located in the Exchange Place. This building was built in 1908 and another great example of that era& #39;s architecture.
This water tower by the Gateway.
The Welfare Square silo
