About Us

The Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) reviews all applications for landmark sites, demolition and new construction within locally-designated historic districts. They do not review interior work or exterior paint color, only exterior alterations. The majority of the projects presented to the HLC are either approved as submitted or with modifications.

Exchange Place Historic District: Listed 1978

The Exchange Place Historic District, designated in 1978, is the city's only purely commercial local historic district.

It consists of eight buildings constructed between 1903 and 1917, and is significant for its association with efforts to establish a non-Mormon business section at the south end of Main Street, balancing the concentration of L.D.S. businesses at the north end around Temple Square.

In addition to commercial structures, the Exchange Place Historic District also includes the federal building and post office (now the federal Moss Courthouse).

The eight buildings in this district are:

  • Commercial Club Building
    32 Exchange Place
  • Moss Courthouse
    Formerly federal building and post office
    400 S. Main
  • Boston Building
    11 -17 Exchange Place
  • Newhouse Building
    2 - 16 Exchange Place
  • Salt Lake Stock & Mining Exchange
    39 Exchange Place
  • New Grand Hotel
    369 - 379 S. Main Street
  • Felt Building
