Each Friday, The Salt Lake Tribune presents images from its archives in a special series called A Look Back. This week's gallery features photos of the hotels and boarding houses that littered Utah and Salt Lake at a time in the state's history when it was a popular stop on the way both East and West.
Every gallery of the series is available at www.sltrib.com/topics/lookback.
