The Knutsford Hotel is an upscale hotel on the northeast corner of State Street and Third South (Broadway) in Salt Lake City, Utah. Historically, it was the location of the camp where the Mormons planted their first crop.
The Knutsford Hotel was built in downtown Salt Lake City in 1891. The architects are the Mendelssohn, Fisher and Lawrie companies based in Omaha. The general contractor, also from Omaha, is Rocheford & amp; Gould. This hotel is a 132-foot-132-foot-influenced Victorian structure built primarily of granite at a cost of $ 750,000. The hotel has 250 rooms and is advertised as completely fireproof. The hotel's unique name is to honor the owner's birthplace in Knutsford, Cheshire, England. Gustavus S. Holmes is the sole owner and operator of The Knutsford. Holmes also owns The Angelus in Los Angeles, California and often advertises hotels together. In 1912, The Knutsford was renovated and transformed into The Auerbach department store. The building was finally dismantled.
