On this website
you'll see the progress of the renovation of The Exchange Building in Ogden,
UT. I'll also be featuring pictures in the photo gallery of other buildings in Ogden that have
either historical meaning or have architectural attributes that I like.
I have been doing research on this building since the first thought of buying
it. Research became more involved in Feb 2005 once we decided to have the
building placed on the National Historical Register. Thanks to the help of
Weber State University, University of Utah and many individual people we are
starting to put together a good history of the Union Stock Yards as a whole. We've confirmed that Leslie
S. Hodgson drew the plans for the building. The same other notable buildings
he did where the Ogden/Weber Municipal Building, Ogden High School, U.S.
Forest Service Building, Bigelow
Hotel, Shupe-Williams Candy Company
Factory, Scowcroft Warehouse, Peery's Egyptian
Theatre, Peery Apartments,
Patterson Building, Eccles Building (now Hampton
Inn & Suites), and the David Eccles Subdivision (aka
Eccles Avenue Historic District).
We
are also going to detail the history of the Union Stock Yard itself, as we
feel it contributed greatly to the economic development of Ogden City. 
If you have information and/or memories of The Exchange Building please share
them with us! If you have a website that has references to things in Ogden,
please add them to our Web Links area.
I hope you find this adventure of building renovation as fun, positive and
enlightening as we do!
