Illegible Salt Lake City Hotel sign

The only word I can make out is “Hotel”.  Located on the north side of Market Street Grill at 48 W. Market St.

Before the Green Pig

These were available to view for only a short time during the renovation of a small building for the new Green Pig Pub.  Construction uncovered several generations of signage that had been hidden by awnings.  Notice the faded “Cleaning” sign and the really cool font on “Larch Tire Service”.
35 E. 400 South Salt Lake City.

A Look Back: Salt Lake’s only Recorded Tornado August 11, 1999

Resulted in 1 death, Tore off the Delta Center roof, Destroyed the Sun private club, Damaged the Capitol grounds, Severe Damage to Memory Grove park, and tore off several roofs in the Avenues.  Believed to be an F2.

Salt Lake Service, Sales and Slaughter

Different generation, different needs.  Glad they kept the sign, but the awning has to go.
Located at 737 S. 400 West.

Salt Lake’s Tire Town

This great old building has been well preserved and restored.  It now host a small condo complex, restaurants, bakery and more.  The detail shows the old elevated roll-up door for offloading trains that used to run behind many buildings in this neighborhood.  Located on the corner of 300 West and Broadway.

Utah Ice and Storage

About the time these photos were taken, the building was scheduled to become yet another Salt Lake urban loft condo project.  SE corner of 300 South and 600 West.  Would be a great commuter location, right across from the UDOT inter-modal hub.

Historic Salt Lake City HOtel

Still in service as subsidized housing.  Located at 428 W. Broadway.

Relocated Odd Fellows Hall Open House and Sale

Originally built in 1891 this 3 story 2500 ton masonry building was lifted, rotated and moved across the street last year.  Now the owner (U.S. General Services Administration) is auctioning  the historic landmark on July 28th.  The building will be open to prospective bidders (and probably anyone else) for an open house on July 27th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm at 40 W. Market St.

Here is a clip from the relocation effort featuring some great time-lapse footage of the move (starting at about the 5 min. mark).

This is all part of clearing the block for construction of the new Federal Court House downtown.

Impressive grouping, old and new.  This ad is on the side of a garage at approximately 50 E. 700 South Salt Lake City.  Notice that even the vintage stuff is covering another sign.

New Grand Hotel

A Salt Lake classic found on the east face of an office building at Main and 400 South.
Probably restored at least once.  Nice work.
