About this postcard

A bird's-eye view looks north over downtown Salt Lake City, with the Utah State Capitol on a hill at left and commercial blocks filling the foreground and center. The capitol was completed in 1916, and its placement on Capitol Hill made it a prominent landmark as the city spread across the valley.
