The Clift Building on the corner of Main Street and Broadway was build in 1920 by Virtue Clift in honor of her late husband, Francis D. Clift. It is one of Salt Lake City's largest terra-cotta faced buildings. On the ground floor, on the right, is the entrance of the Off-Broadway Theatre. Grant Smith 10 November 2007
A "Tour Stop 27" sign next to the theater reads, "Virtue Clift constructed this building in 1920 in honor of her late husband Francis D. Clift who was a merchant, mining entrepreneur, and real estate developer. The Clift Building originally housed the United Cigar Stores Company, the Shubach Optical Company, Western Union Telegraph, and the Kinema Theater. The theater continued operating here until 1968. The Clift Building is one of Salt Lake City's largest terra-cotta faced buildings. The upper floor of this eclectic building is the most decorative. Look for protruding bay windows with Greek pediments at the corners and the bracketed cornice." Grant Smith 10 November 2007
