Description

It is located at 137 South Main Street and built in 1924. It was listed on the NRHP July 30, 2012. [1]

It has also been known as the Ezra Thompson Building after three-time mayor Ezra Thompson, or as the former Salt Lake Tribune building, as the newspaper was a longtime occupant until 2005. [2]

It was one of only four high-rise buildings constructed in Salt Lake City between World War I and the Great Depression. [2]

The property was vacant in 2008 when it was purchased by investors, as part of a transaction reported to be for $3.9 million. [3]

It was a work of architects Pope & Burton. [4] [note 1] It is a two-part commercial block building. Although the lower level's facade has been modified, the building retains its notable terra cotta cornice. [4]

In 1910 he opened an architectural firm with Hyrum Pope in Salt Lake City, Utah. They particularly appreciated Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School architectural style. As young architects, Pope & Burton won design competitions for two of their better-known works, the Cardston Alberta and Laie Hawaii temples of the LDS Church. Burton moved to Los Angeles, California in 1927 to set up another office in the firm with Pope. After Pope unexpectedly died in 1939, Burton established a new firm with his son Douglas W. Burton. Together they continued to design many buildings, including some for the church, and in 1955 Harold Burton became the chief supervising architect for the LDS Church. One of his final works was the Oakland California Temple. Aside from places of worship, Burton designed civic buildings and homes. Many of his works exist today, some of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
