Salt Lake City is the envy of other mid-size cities for having single-family housing close to the City Center. We are fortunate to have houses with unique architecture and historic value that have withstood the test of time, remain stalwart through various economies and tell the story of our city.
In 2018, the city approved 60 residential demolition permits, 37 of which were in three zip codes – 84102, 84105 and 84108 (citizenportal.slcgov.com) – where much of Salt Lake’s historic and cherished past is concentrated. For more than a century, these areas of Salt Lake have been the prime connection to those who came before us.
