Show B160 THE SENATE SALOON 111-13 25th Street Built in 1888, this small two-story brick and stone structure was built near the depot at the beginning of the "Building Boom" anticipating it would receive its share of the largess generated by the mining prosperity of the late 1880's. Although small in scale, the unknown architect skillfully combined the decorative components at his disposal, i. e. J Eastlake doors and carved woodworking, cast iron columns, carved stone accent pieces and belt courses, and prefabricated galvanized tin cornices with their unlimited potential for varied shapes, forms and textures. The unaltered facade of the Senate Saloon, later the Scudder Saloon .and an endless line of other liquor and boarding house-related businesses, provides excellent insights as to design and craftsmanship during the burgeoning "gaslight era" in Ogden.
