The Boston and Newhouse Buildings are the first skyscrapers built in Salt Lake City, Utah.^[1] The eleven storey buildings were built in 1908 and designed by Henry Ives Cobb, a Chicago-based architect. These twin buildings are part of the Exchange Place Historic District in Salt Lake City.

"These eleven-story structures were part of a new business district spearheaded by Jewish mining magnate Samuel Newhouse, who intended it to function as a 'Western Wall Street,' rivaling the Mormon district three blocks north."^[2] Samuel Newhouse moved to Utah in 1896 and became one of Utah's wealthiest mining magnates.^[3] Newhouse hired Henry Ives Cobb to develop his tract of land downtown in Salt Lake City.

The Boston and Newhouse Buildings are framed with steel and covered with Indiana Limestone and brick, an innovative fireproofing technique of the time to insulate the steel.^[4]
