Description

The building is located at 68-72 South Main Street and was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting in Sullivanesque style.

It has been said to be "the earliest and best example of Sullivanesque architecture in the state" (besides the Dooly Building, demolished, designed by Louis Sullivan himself).{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=82004149}}|title=Utah State Historical Society Structure/Site Information: McIntyre Building |publisher=National Park Service|author=Allen D.
