Description: Salt Lake City, UTAH - First Saltair Pavilion - Exterior & Interior - 1904: Saltair, also The SaltAir, Saltair Resort, or Saltair Pavilion, is the name that has been given to several resorts located on the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake in Utah, United States, about 15 miles (24 km) from Salt Lake City. The first Saltair, completed in 1893, was jointly owned by a corporation associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Salt Lake & Los Angeles Railway (later renamed as the Salt Lake, Garfield, and Western Railway; not to be confused with the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad), which was constructed for the express purpose of serving the resort. Saltair was not the first resort built on the shores of the Great Salt Lake, but was the most successful ever built. A stunning example of early 20th century Moorish Revival architecture, the resort was designed by well-known Utah architect Richard K.A. Kletting and rested on over 2,000 posts and pilings, many of which remain and still are visible over 110 years later. Intended from the beginning as the Western counterpart to Coney Island, Saltair was one of the early amusement parks, and for a time was the most popular family destination west of New York. The church sold the resort in 1906. The first Saltair pavilion and a few other buildings were destroyed by fire on April 22, 1925. This Undivided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1904, is in good condition. The Bureau Temple Block Salt Lake City.
