Sugar Factory Playhouse
West Jordan, Utah
After the city bowery was demolished to make way for a new fire station, West Jordan Theater Arts opened the 230-seat Sugar Factory Playhouse in the city's old sugar factory. Inspired by Trolley Square, the West Jordan City Council planned to renovate the sugar factory and turn it into a cultural arts center with a larger auditorium, amphitheater, art gallery, conference center, reception hall, and retail center. Expensive seismic upgrades eventually doomed the project and the sugar factory was demolished by the end of 2010.

Making Improvements
Ogden Standard Examiner, 4 March 1908, page 5
Duskell Brothers of the Dreamland Theater, are making much needed improvements on their place of business. The playhouse is being given a thorough renovating and painting. The object of the proprietors is to make of it the most attractive and convenient of its kind in the city, and to accomplish this end they say no means or pains will be spared. Aside from re-painting the premises, the interior is being re-papered, the wall being decorated in landscape panels, executed by local artists.
