  4. The Bishops Building, I think? It would be north of College Avenue, but at “50” probably wouldn’t have been far enough north for any of the University buildings. You think?

  6. Ah, you caught me! I understand (the question, at least, if not the answer). RLLyman’s renumbering didn’t happen until 1946-47, so in 1943 this address was one block farther north than it would be today — half a block north of North Temple, in the footprint of the current Church History Library, I suppose (taking it for granted that even numbers were on the same side of the street then as now). I don’t know what buildings were there in 1943. Something to look up!

  7. Maybe this is too much information, but I found it helpful:

    “Using a grid numbering scheme that became known as the “Lyman System,” with the intersection of South Temple Street and Main Street being the starting point, West Temple Street became 100 West, and North Temple Street became 100 North. The dual system of street names and numbers arose because in Salt Lake City’s west side the street names did not match their new street numbers, such as Second North actually being 300 North, and Second West, a major thoroughfare, actually being 300 West. A newspaper article in 1947 gave an example of the confusion, showing that one of the intersections on the west side would be shown as Fourth West (500 West) and Fifth North (600 North). The article suggested that most residents of the west side would likely pick one system and ignore the other. The article also mentioned that Salt Lake City had installed 75 percent of the new street signs and that the remainder would be completed by the end of the week, meaning that the project was actually completed in late April or early May 1947.
