Utah State Building
Crossing the gravel walk the visitor now reaches the Utah Building, a graceful structure at the extreme north of the Fair. It measures 50 by 90 feet, and cost nearly $20,000. The first floor contains an exhibition hall extending up through the second story, and forming a semi-circular light well and gallery at the intersection of the second floor. On the same floor are the secretary’s apartment, bureau of information, ladies’ reception room, toilet rooms, etc. The officers’ quarters are above, and a large room for special exhibits. The building is used as a headquarters for Utah people and a bureau of information, where people may get reliable statistics and data regarding Utah and her people. There are also some special exhibits of great interest, representative of the industries of the State. These include agricultural, manufactured and mine products, such as gold, silver and sulphur. With these latter are shown plans illustrating the methods ^of reducing sulphur and the handling of borax and rock salt found in some parts of the territory, as clear as crystal. A miniature of Great Salt Lake is shown in front of the building. Dallas & Hedges, of Salt Lake City, are the architects.
