Frank E. Moss United States Courthouse, Salt Lake City

The Frank E. Moss United States Courthouse (originally known as the United States Post Office and Courthouse) is a courthouse of the United States District Court for the District of Utah, located in Salt Lake City's Exchange Place Historic District. The courthouse is the oldest building among the eight buildings that make up that district. The buildings reflect Utah's growing prosperity at the end of the nineteenth century. Located on Main Street in Salt Lake City's Exchange Place Historic District, the courthouse helped introduce the Classical Revival style to Utah. The building rises five full stories above a basement and has a central two-story penthouse. In 1990 the courthouse was renamed in honor of Frank Edward Moss, a Utah native who served as a United States senator from 1959 to 1977.
