The Salt Lake Tribune occasionally presents images from its archives in a special series called A Look Back. Today marks our one year anniversary for this feature, so for this installment we chose some of our favorite historic photos of Salt Lake City that we've used in A Look Back in the last year.
Every gallery of the series is available at http://www.sltrib.com/topics/lookback. Previous installments showed:
