Firestone Building and mural, Salt Lake City Utah.
This photographs shows the backside of the Firestone Building in Salt Lake City, as well as a neighboring mural. This was an industrial area of Salt Lake a century ago, but the area now just off downtown features restaurant and shops (but is also near an area that can be a bit rough). The appearance of the back of the Firestone Building is much different than the front, and the building now houses an Italian restaurant. The building was built in 1925.

Hotel Virginia (Natrona County Annex), Casper Wyoming
This century old building in Casper Wyoming was most recently used as Natrona County's County Annex, a government administrative building, but it had its origins as a hotel. It's currently under renovations which will convert it into apartments, which is somewhat similar to its original use as a hotel.
I don't know what the original name of the hotel was, and how many names it may have operated under, but sandblasting on the building has revealed a "ghost sign" for a hotel. Unfortunately, I can't read anything other than "hotel" on the sign. The current owner intends to market the apartments under the name Hotel Virginia, but I do not know if that's what this sign said, or if parts of more than one sign are visible.
