A few nice Salt Lake City Realtor images I found:

New paint job

There are several of these old 60′s/70′s quasi International style buildings getting a few new licks of paint in SLC. The realtor seems to have a good sense of making a building more appealing to possible tenants. The question, of course, is whether the paint jobs will be maintained or if the buildings will fall into peeling disrepair over the years. Philosophically I’m opposed to painting brick as people don’t maintain the paint and the buildings end up looking terrible. Future owner then go drastic and sandblast the facade (which destroys the brick and brings about the demise of the building.)

The buildings do look spiffy, however. Certainly much better than their blase originals (look at any contemporary building to see that.) Perhaps we are going back to some more aesthetic sensibilities as opposed to just plain-old (boring and soul-killing) functionalism.

Question for GWUtah folks: where is this one?
