I don’t know what to call this church but it is across the street from Swede Town Park so I’ll call it that while I try to research it.  All I can find so far is that in 2017 a man being chased by police barricaded himself inside it and got stuck and called the police for help.

It looks very cool and historic and I’ll be looking for info.

Sugarpost Metal Art

I’ve always loved taking a minute to stop at Sugarpost in Salt Lake City and look at the cool art they’ve created from welding metal.   Little monsters and animals that are very creative.

Hollywood Apartments

Built in 1909, this imposing 31-unit apartment building, notable for its construction of rusticated and decorative ashlar concrete block, is the only remaining example of its type in Salt Lake City. All of the apartments have built-in Murphy beds, oak built-in cabinets typical of Mission style, and hardwood trim. The 1995 restoration of the building into an apartment condominium community has left many of these original interior features intact.

These apartments were constructed by John M. Wilfrey who lived in Salt Lake City between 1903-10. He developed several real estate projects in the city during that time, including the Wilfrey Apartments (now demolished). The Hollywood apartments are significant in representing an important housing option that emerged in response to Salt Lake City’s rapid urbanization between 1890 and the 1930s.

Located at 234 East 100 South in Salt Lake City, Utah

Lincoln Arms Apartments

Apartments such as this were a new type of residential building that emerged during the early 20th century as Salt Lake City developed into an urban center. Dozens of multi-story brick apartments were constructed in the neighborhoods near downtown. They were attractive investments for property owners and practical, “modern” housing for those who wished to live in the central city rather than in the suburbs. The Lincoln Arms Apartments were constructed in 1924-25 at a cost of $42,000. Original owners were Myrtle and Phillip Bratt. Mr. Bratt, a local contractor, was also the builder.

Located at 242 East 100 South in Salt Lake City, Utah

Alfred W. Wesemann

November 2, 1904 – December 4, 1969

Kind – Generous – Patient
A benevolent German immigrant, who opened his arms, and his grocery store, to anyone who had a need.

Truly an emissary of God, blessed with an understanding heart, who believed in the literal sense of “Give me your tired, your poor.”

Local persons struggled with floods, depression, welfare problems. His wise counsel brought order out of chaos. He was nurtured with a divine gift of love.

Shot through the heart by a robber, his violent death on December 4th, 1969, diminished us all forever.

From the Deseret News:

The corner of 900 West and California Avenue has long reminded Glendale residents of the evil in the world.

It was there in December 1969 that Alfred W. Wesemann, one of the most beloved members of this westside Salt Lake community, was shot and killed as two young men robbed his grocery store. Wesemann’s friends, family and community leaders on Saturday dedicated a park in his honor at the same location, a short distance from where he fell. From now on, they hope, the corner will remind people of how Wesemann lived, not how he died.

Alfred W. Wesemann Memorial Park, a small green strip on the northeast corner of the two streets, is just south of the building where Wesemann ran his store for many years. Wesemann’s photograph and a written tribute to his life are mounted on a rock in the center of the park.
