McDonald, J. G., Chocolate Company Building - Salt Lake City, UT - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

This is stop #45 on the Utah Heritage Foundation's Downtown Walking Tour, and it appears to be a very good condensed version of the nomination form for the building (see Secondary Website 1). It says:

J.G. McDonald
Chocolate Company

1901, John A. Headlund

The chocolates once produced in this building won over 40 gold medals for excellence in international competitions. The J.G. McDonald Chocolate Company specialized in boxed chocolates and a chocolate drink intended to replace the "injurious use of tea and coffee." The company constructed this building in 1901 as its headquarters. Originally, the building was three stories tall. A fourth story and a partial fifth story featuring an elaborate roof garden were added in 1914. The fifth story was later removed, but then reconstructed in 1999 when the building was converted to condominiums. Look for the letter "M" in brick relief on the corners of the fourth story.
