History

Description

Trolley Square is composed of trolley barns that were built in 1908 [cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/02/13/salt.lake.shooting.ap/index.html|title=Gunman Kills 5 at Utah mall, police say|publisher=CNN|date=2007-02-13|accessdate=2007-02-13] to house Salt Lake City's street-cars. The street-car system was dismantled in 1945 and the barns were subsequently converted into a two-story shopping center in 1972. The center is noted for its unusual architecture consisting of winding hallways, brick and wooden floors, fountains, old-trees, and wrought-iron balconies. Prominent tenants include Pottery Barn, Cabin Fever (a popular card store), Restoration Hardware, Williams-Sonoma, Banana Republic, Old Spaghetti Factory, Hard Rock Cafe, Regency Theatres (showcasing independent and foreign filmscite web|url=http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,600099448,00.html|title=Trolley theaters are again opening|publisher=Deseret Morning News|date=2004-12-22|accessdate=2007-02-13] ), many art galleries, and local boutiques such has the fashion store Black Chandelier.cite web|url=http://blackchandelier.com/|title=Black Chandelier official site|publisher=Black Chandelier|date=2007-02-13|accessdate=2007-02-13]

The water tower is covered in neon lights that are a weather beacon operated by KSL-TV.
