The Oregon Shortline Railroad Company Building in Salt Lake City, Utah, was built in 1897–98. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

It is a complex of three buildings, connected and all two-storied. The west-most one, at 134–142 Pierpont, was the original Salt Lake High School.

It was architect Carl M. Neuhausen's first major commission, and its success greatly propelled his career.[1]
