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.

Dreamland Theater
Ogden Standard Examiner, 10 March 1908, page 7
The management, Charles and George Driskell, are to be congratulated on their newly arranged and newly remodeled theater. It is really a big improvement to the stores on the east side of Washington avenue, and will do much in drawing the people over to that side, not only for the pleasure they can receive, but for business. With such permanent and elegant improvements, the Dreamland should be a place to spend hours of real pleasure.
