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.

Have Narrow Escape
Manti Messenger, 2 February 1912, page 2
Salt Lake City – The interior of the Shubert theater, 321 South Main street was destroyed by fire Friday morning. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Baker and five small children, the eldest of whom is 13 years, all of whom were sleeping in the second story of the building, narrowly escaped death and did not leave the burning structure until the entire building was in flames and until two circles of the theater had collapsed.
