The easternmost exterior wall has a bas-relief mural created by Torleif Knaphus called Christ the Fountainhead, see this page for more information about that and the other buildings that also have it.

Henry Dinwoodey became the largest furniture maker in Utah and one of the largest in the Intermountain West, producing pieces from his factory behind this storefront location. A smaller original building he constructed was enlarged with three stories above it in 1890 and added a decorative cornice. This façade was covered sometime before 1960 with the current covering. The building currently houses offices for Zions Bank.

Garden Hotel – Boston Hotel – Squatter’s Pub
147 West 300 South in Salt Lake City, Utah
Joseph Baumgarter built the Garden Hotel in 1909. Ware & Treganza, one of Salt Lake City’s most successful architectural firms, designed this simple commercial building.
While best known for its Craftsman and Prairie style works, the firm also designed a number of the less stylized commercial and industrial buildings in Salt Lake City’s warehouse district. A variety of hotels operated in the building until 1979. After standing vacant for much of the 1980s, the building was purchased by the Salt Lake Brewing Company in 1988. The brewing company renovated the building and opened Squatter’s Pub Brewery here in 1989.

This large mural created by Everett Clark Thorpe in 1941 is located in the Federal Building at 88 W 100 N in Provo, Utah and is titled “History of Provo and Brigham Young University.”
This mural depicts important events in the history of Provo, Utah. The historical development of Brigham Young University is the focus of the upper-left side of the mural which includes images of Old Lewis Hall, the university’s first building; the church school’s cooperative mercantile store room; and a contemporary parade.
Focusing on early Provo history, the lower-left section depicts early settlers gathering honey dew from leaves along the river and promising Native Americans not to drive them from their traditional hunting grounds. The center of the mural features the migration of early settlers from Salt Lake City to Provo with the approach of Johnston’s army, and hikers pausing by an Aspen Grove on Mt. Timpanogas. Economic development is the focus of the right side with images of the wool, iron, fishing, and mining industries juxtaposed with images of Mt Timpanogas and the Provo River.
Born in 1907 in Providence, Cache County, Utah, the artist later lived in Logan. He died in 1976. His work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums including the Utah State Institute of Fine Arts, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Denver Art Museum and the Utah Art Center.

Constructed in October 2001, Maeser Park is a beautiful neighborhood park. A mural painted on the wall bordering the park depicts scenes from the Provo Maeser Neighborhood area. With the park nearly completely fenced, there is a walking path circling the park if you want to take a stroll while your children are playing on the playground.
See other parks in Provo here and Provo’s page for this park here.
