Bennett Glass & Paint Company and Kimball Block

Located in downtown Salt lake City, Utah – 65 W 100 S is the Bennett Glass and Paint Company, built in 1896 and the west half of it added in 1921.

Next door to the west is the Kimball Block.

I’m still hunting for some history of these but created this page to keep some photos until I have more information.

The Best-Cannon house is an excellent example of a Queen Anne Victorian cottage in Salt Lake City. It was designed by the firm of Monheim, Bird and Proudfoot, architects for the Salt Lake City and County Building, and built in 1893 by W.A. Wright for Elliot M.S. Best and his family. Best, an agent for the Morse Coe Shoe Company, built the west addition in 1897 for a cost of $85 as a dance studio for his daughter. The Bests lived here until 1906 when Angus M. Cannon, Jr., and his wife, Kate Lynch, bought the house.

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.
