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]
In 2013 it became home of Neumont University.[2]
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]

Notes
- NRIS listed the building's architects as "Hope & Burton", apparently a typo for Pope & Burton.
