Notes
  • Significance: The Salt Lake City and County Building has served as the municipal headquarters of Utah's two most populous local government entities since its completion in 1894. Jointly owned and constructed by Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County, the building's northern half houses the City's offices and the southern half the County's administrative operations. It was also used as Utah's first State Capitol Building until the present one was completed in 1915.

This prominent landmark is an excellent example of nineteenth century Romanesque revival architecture and was designed by the firm of Monheim, Bird and Proudfoot. The building is situated in the center of one of Salt Lake City's most historic ten-acre blocks known as Washington (previously Emigration or 8th Ward) Square. Its massive gray sandstone structure rises out of the tree-filled landscaped grounds to dominate Salt Lake City's southern downtown skyline- a distinction befitting such a civic monument.
