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.

Ventilation for Theatre Provided
Ogden Standard Examiner, 30 November 1923, page 8
H. E. Skinner, manager of the Colonial theatre, today announced that a complete ventilating system was being installed in the new theatre and would be in this month. The system, he said, is designed to furnish 20 cubic feet of air each minute for every seat in the auditorium. For cold weather the air will be heated over steam coils and in the summer the air will pass through filtered water.
