Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot
Salt Lake City, Utah
built 1909
Forty years prior to the Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot being built, the Golden Spike was driven at Promontory, Utah, joining the Union and Central Pacific Railroads, creating the first transcontinental railroad in the United States. As railroads expanded in Utah, stations and depots were constructed to meet the growing needs of the state.
In 1909 the Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot was constructed, featuring a Grand Hall. At each end of the hall, two murals still stand -- one of Brigham Young and the other commemorating the driving of the Golden Spike. Today the depot serves multiple uses, including that of a nightclub, aptly named The Depot. |
