Pretty cool that this landmark is being saved. Seems like Sugar House in particular has fallen victim over the years to runaway redevelopment.

Salt Lake City scoops up ‘Hobbitville’ for $7.5 million after previous offer rejected

I grew up on Wilson Ave. about 1800 E. As a kid I rode my bike to Allen Park many times. Westminster College had a football team and we would ride down and watch the games.
