Celebrate the History In order to highlight the oldest comercial building in downtown Salt Lake City, a memory pond is attached to its back side to reflect and frame it. Combin-ing with the water feature, it would catch people’s attention to appreciate and learn its cultural, historic, and aethetic values from seatings and walkways.
