Most of the buildings in this picture were razed long ago for the first Salt Palace convention center and arena, Crossroads Mall, and the ZCMI Center, which have all been razed now in turn.

Jmonkey that shot is INSANE! Thanks for adding it. I've seen that building (labeled with a '2' in the cliping) in some other posts on the classic SLC thead. Obviously Eagle Gate Tower is there now. Does anyone know what that building was? There were so many cool buildings just East of the Temple, wan't it a campus of some sort? Man I wish they were still there and the COB had been built just across the street. Nothing would be cooler than a university right downtown.
