I like that residents finally are starting to take a stand...for example the old Deseret Bank (First Security) building on 100s & Main and a lot of the lofts that are being renovated and created downtown out of older buildings.
I mean, at least they tried to keep the feel with the newer building, but then, why replace it if they were going to create a similar one?

Anyone know the history of this? I'm sure someone on the board must recall them demolishing it (I think it happened in the early 80s).
