This tour begins outside the Visit Salt Lake Center at 90 S W Temple St. If you're not there already, you should head there now.

Directly to our left is the Crandall Building, the very first skyscraper built in Salt Lake City. It’s the building with the carved arched entryway. Constructed in the 1890s, the building originally housed McCornick Bank. It was one of the first buildings in the area to include an elevator! Locals were fascinated by the new-fangled contraption, and women draped in calico dresses accompanied their husbands to the bank just to ride it.

4.00Lot of uphill. The end is not near the beginning. Great history lesson. Everything you always wanted know about the Mormon church, the good, the bad and the ugly.
This was more focused on...

3.00This was more focused on Mormon history than I expected, I was hoping for more star and local history. The automatic feature worked hit or miss - when it worked well it was nice.
Great!

5.00Nice little tour that I could do at my own pace. Made me more comfortable navigating on my own. It got a little confusing around the Capital due to construction.
Informative yet Frustrating

3.00The information was helpful and interesting. Unfortunately the sound cut out mid sentences and would fade back in so the cohesiveness was lost. It became somewhat frustrating. I know my ear buds were not an issue so I think the recording was messed up.
