Inscription. This building has housed the same business since its construction in 1914. The Decker-Patrick Company, which advertised itself as "Wholesale dealers in dry goods, notions, and men's and women's furnishing," later changed its name to the Patrick Dry Goods Company. This name still appears on the building today. The Patrick Dry Goods Company Building is an attractive example of late Commercial style architecture. The heavy projecting cornice, variety of window types, recessed central window bays, and sharp contrast between the white trim and red brick give the building's façade an active appearance.

Erected by Utah Heritage Foundation. (Marker Number 55.)
