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.

Whole Hotel to be Built at One Time
Ogden Standard Examiner, 18 August 1925, page 10
The new 12-story Reed hotel will not be constructed on the unit plan; the present large building will be razed and the new structure will go up on that site and the ground formerly occupied by the Utah theatre. That was the message given late Monday afternoon to the directors of the Ogden chamber of commerce by A. P. Bigelow, president of the Reed hotel company. Contractors are now figuring costs and bids may be opened within two weeks, he added.
