Banks and business blocks in Salt Lake City
This tour visits the commercial core, with banks, business blocks, stores and exchange buildings. Most were built to hold shops at street level and offices above.
The stops that carry a construction date run from 1888 to 1922. 14 stops, 1.7 miles end to end. One stop is a historic district rather than a single building.
Distances are straight lines between the coordinates in the National Park Service Register data, so the walk on the street will be longer. Nobody has walked or checked this as a route, and a listing does not mean a place is open to visitors. Stops last changed Oct 16, 2026.

Map
Coordinates come from the National Park Service National Register spatial data, or from Wikidata where the spatial data has no point. The solid line joins the stops in walking order and is not a street route. Listings with a restricted address in the Register are never mapped and never become stops. Data refreshed November 02, 2026.
