The Cramer House is a historic house at 241 Floral Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was built in 1890 by Christopher Cramer, an immigrant from Denmark who became a florist. His house was also his flower store until he sold it in 1897. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 17, 1982.It was deemed significant "as one of only two single family residences remaining in the downtown area. It documents not only the probable presence at an earlier time of other single family residential architecture in the area, but also the combination of homey residence and business in one structure in the business district."

The Herald Building in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a 5-story brick and stone commercial building designed by Chicago architect John C. Craig and constructed by A. & J. McDonald in 1905. The U-shape building contains two 4-story wings on either side of a narrow light well. Horizontal bands of stone and decorative lintels and keystones separate window fenestrations between floors, and a tin cornice on each wing contains "broken pediments, volutes, lion's heads, cove mouldings, brackets, dentils, and flagpoles." The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.The Salt Lake Daily Herald was a newspaper founded in 1870 by publishers William C. Dunbar and Edward L. Sloan. The Herald ceased publication in 1920. At the time of construction of the Herald Building, the newspaper was owned by William A. Clark, a wealthy entrepreneur and politician from Montana. Clark also owned the Butte Miner. In 1904 Clark formed a realty company with Richard C. Kerens, Thomas Kearns, and David Keith for construction projects in Salt Lake City, including the $100,000 Herald Building.Construction on the Herald Building included a concrete mixer for the concrete foundation, and the building was the first location in Salt Lake City where either the mixer or the foundation material was used.In 1905 The Herald installed a custom made, R.
