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.

Building in Winter is Good
Ogden Standard Examiner, 14 October 1911, page 6
Reconstruction work on the interior of the Lyceum theater on Twenty-fifth street, between Grant and Lincoln avenues, has begun, the carpenters at present being engaged rebuilding the stage which was almost completely destroyed by a fire a short time ago. The chairs and ceiling of the playhouse were so blistered by the fire that they will have to be retinted and repainted.
