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.

A horse belonging to James Ford, paper hanger, 141 Patterson avenue, near the corner of 23rd and Adams avenue, and breaking its bridle dashed down 23rd street to Washington, where it continued its flight until stopped in front of the Dreamland theater. One wheel of the wagon was demolished and several pedestrians had narrow escapes in avoiding the frightened animal.
