About Meyer Gallery's Building
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
One of the first brick buildings built
after the 1898 fire, this commercial structure served the banking, mining, and
general business activity of the First National Bank and Silver King Mining
Company, and such prominent Utah mining entrepreneurs as David Keith, James
Farrell, W. V. Rice and Senator Thomas Kearns. Victorian commercial in style,
the building features an ornate brick cornice and stone foundation. The facade
is comprised of six glass arches with leaded glass transom windows. It was
originally, and remains, divided into two sections in the interior. Then, as
now, the two halves of the building served separate business entities. One of
the most architecturally interesting buildings on Main Street, it is also
highly significant for its contribution to the commercial and mining activity
of turn-of-the-century Park City.
