The Judge Building (also known as the Railway Exchange Building), is a historic commercial building in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). [1]
The 7-story commercial office building was designed by David C. Dent and constructed for Mary Judge in 1907. [2] The facade features masonry piers capped by terracotta floral designs and canine heads segmenting a sixth floor lintel. Circles with inverted triangles decorate the parapet below a copper, denticulated cornice. The Judge Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. [3]
Seven railway companies leased space in the building prior to its completion, [4] and the number later increased to 22 railway companies. [5] When the building opened in 1908, almost all office space already was rented. [6]

In October of 1985, stockbroker, Steven Christensen, 31 years old, had just arrived at his office in the Judge Building shortly after 8 A.M. when a box bearing his name and lying in a corridor exploded, killing him instantly, the police said. [7] This incident was featured in the 2021 Netflix documentary series Murder Among the Mormons. [8]
