O.C. Tanner: A gem of a building

Thank you! | 5:08 p.m. Sept. 5, 2009

O.C. Tanner Co. Carolyn Tanner Irish for seeing what this building could be again.

It is a treasure to downtown.

Exciting! | 10:15 p.m. Sept. 5, 2009

I'm quite excited to return to this beautiful building to see the work that the O.C. Tanner Co. has put into their new home. It's wonderful to see such a gem restored to its full glory. This will certainly be another bright spot in downtown SLC.

I'm impressed. Not a lot that comes out of Salt Lake City or Utah impresses me, but this impresses me.

Congratulations on your new House!

Salt Lake City is a jewel in the desert!!!! Absolutely one of the greatest places to live in the world.

Thanks so much for spending your money on keeping this great building intact for us all to enjoy.

I am going to buy my next Rolex from you to show my appreciation.

Thanks.

Kent Murdock, former President and CEO and current mission president in Switzerland, should receive a lot of credit for this project. As usual he spoke quietly when asked about the project that he pursued and made a reality. Kent has been the source of success in recent years for OC Tanner including adaptations that kept the company moving forward. Thanks Kent for your vision, leadership, and personal touch.

I knew Mr and Mrs Tanner and workded with them on their home. I enjoyed, many years ago, their beautiful gardens and have loved their fountains.
I have not lived un Utah for 25 years but I know that the Tanners would be proud of what their company has done for the city. Obert as never about money but about doing the right thing. This building is an extention of that opinion.

i'm happy to see that there are architecture firms taking making big moves in design. the new entrance with the images is amazing. it showcases the jewelry inside perfectly.

The construction firm that did the project must have assigned their finest manager/foreman for the job. Someone would have to care a lot to get the high quality construction done in such a short time.
