Once inside, you’ll learn a little about the city’s premier historic office tower, including its ties to Utah’s mining industry and World War I. You’ll also hear about Harry Houdini’s visit, and a true crime caper which played out at the Walker long ago.
The tour moves to the rooftop just in time for sunset! Here your guide will point out other city landmarks, and there will be time for photos.
