Walker Center

The Walker Center is a bank building in downtown Salt Lake City with classical stone architecture and detailed ornamental decorations. It stands out on South Main Street with its distinctive facade and carved embellishments.

The building was completed in 1913 by architects Eames and Young during a period of economic expansion. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 for its role in the city's early development.

The building shows how important banking was to Salt Lake City's growth and identity. Its grand style reflects the wealth that mining and trade brought to the region.

The building is located in the south downtown area and is easily accessible on foot. Today it continues to function as commercial space while maintaining its original architectural features.

The building survived the economic hardship of the Great Depression and remained in continuous operation. Its ability to endure makes it a rare example of a commercial building that successfully weathered a major financial crisis.
