Edison House is the brainchild of co-founder brothers George Cardon-Bystry and Charlie Cardon. George and Charlie are 8th generation Utahns who grew up in Salt Lake City but left for a decade to explore and experience some of the country’s most dynamic cities. During their time away, the brothers gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of a strong social network and real community connection, and how challenging both can be to find and foster. The arts, culture, and vibrancy that define Big City Living inspired them to bring that energy back home to Salt Lake. The Cardon brothers and the Edison House team are on a mission to build something new and dynamic in downtown SLC: a community of thoughtful go-getters, where members build meaningful friendships, expand their horizons, and feel at home.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Like its neighbor Main Street, State Street was a residential area that rapidly developed into an urban center during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. But the two streets differ significantly: Main Street focuses more on Salt Lake’s retail and financial sectors, whereas State Street offers a more varied history. State Street has been the setting for important, fluid relations among immigrants, the mining-rich bourgeoisie, federal authorities, LDS Church leaders, investors, and new developments by private individuals and large institutional corporations.This 90-minute tour explores the social, cultural, political, and architectural history of downtown State Street, one of Salt Lake City’s most famous districts. We'll talk about the many waves of people who have lived and worked in this area, as well as how tensions between modern development and preservation played out as the neighborhood transformed. Originally built as a residential and entertainment district, State Street has evolved again and again to become the commercial, political, retail, and high-rise neighborhood we see today. In addition to examining major 20th-century buildings along State Street, we'll also discuss what happened to important 19th-century buildings that once stood here and why. The tour focuses on appreciating an important Salt Lake City street in new ways.Major landmarks on the half-mile tour include the Alta Club, Belvedere Apartments, Federal Reserve Bank, historic Edison Street, and Brooks Arcade.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
