Show South Main Tracy Loan and Trust Company Building HISTORY (continued): Much of Cooper's work, although contemporary in terms of structure and mechanical systems, reflected the classical revivalism of his time* The Tracy Loan and Trust Company Building is Neo-Classical Revival in style. Recently renovated by Ivory and Company, the present occupants, the building is a two-story brick structure with a. stone facade. Sensitively preserved in the renovation process, the facade is highlighted by two large Ionic columns of marble and a. traditional Greek entablature featuring a balustrade, moulded and dentiled cornice, an egg-and-dart band and similar ornamental treatments which have their origins in ancient Rome and Greece. Although diminuative in scale, the facade is well-proportioned and detailed and contri butes to the sense of historicity along Salt Lake City's South Main Street, the state 1 s first commercial street. |
