Sweet Candy Company Building, building in Utah, United States
The Sweet Candy Company Building is a factory in Salt Lake City, Utah, built in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It features wide windows for daylight, simple lines, brick construction, and decorative details on the pillars and above the top-floor windows.
The company was founded in 1892 in Portland, Oregon, by Leon Sweet and moved to Utah in 1900, leading to this factory's construction in 1911. The building was expanded southward in the 1920s to increase production and storage capacity.
The factory was a familiar sight in the neighborhood for over 80 years, with the scent of candy often drifting outside. It was a place where workers created sweets that brought joy to families and communities across Utah.
The building is located in the historic business district and is easy to access from the street. Visitors can walk around the exterior to get a sense of factory life from over a century ago.
The factory operated for nearly 90 years and produced many types of candies, from taffy to jelly beans to chocolate. The building was designed by architects who later became known for their work on government buildings.
