Here are some of my favorite buildings throughout SLC (photos by me):
The Fuller Paint Building - it was renovated as Big D Construction's Headquarters in the early 00s and I'm glad they saved it. Located just west of Pioneer Park, it'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's Museum. It's fallen into disrepair the last few years but it's a great example of Spanish Colonial architecture.
The Old Dutch Store's windmill in SugarHouse. It'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'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've always thought it was so cool.
The Holy Trinity Cathedral in downtown - home to the Greek Orthodox Church. It'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's Greektown.
The B'nai Israel Temple downtown. It was originally designed as a miniature version of Berlin's Fasanenstrasse Synagogue.
The old Public Safety Building - it'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'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'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's Exchange Place - one of the original non-LDS owned areas of the city (and the financial district). These buildings were Utah's first 'skyscrapers' - 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'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's architecture.
This water tower by the Gateway.
The Welfare Square silo
