The ZCMI Cast Iron Front is a historic building façade, currently attached to City Creek Center facing Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The façade, built of cast iron and stamped sheet metal between 1876 and 1901 (with portions recreated in the 1970s), is a well-preserved example of a metal façade, and a reminder of the city's 19th-century commercial past. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
First attached to the Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution (ZCMI) building, it was removed when that structure was razed in the 1970s, after which it was restored and attached to the ZCMI Center Mall. In the 2010s, it was then attached to City Creek Center when that development replaced the older mall.
