We are honored to partner with Ogden City and GMRE to revitalize the Exchange Building, one of Utah's most significant Art Deco landmarks, located at the former Ogden Union Stockyards.
Just one year ago, the historic Union Stockyard Exchange Building was named to Preservation Utah's Most Endangered Buildings List. With the release of the 2026 list last week, the building now carries a new designation-- SAVED!
This project proves we don't have to choose between honoring our history and pursuing innovation. It takes partners who believe historic buildings deserve a future and we found that in Fischer Regan Enterprises, LLC. I'm excited to see the Union Stock Exchange Building become a center of industry once again, just as I'm excited about the future of Ogden Union Station. When we preserve places that tell Ogden's story and give them new purpose, we're building a city that future generations will be proud to inherit.
The work has already begun—starting with removing and properly storing the Exchange building's intricate animal-head brickwork for safekeeping until it's ready to be places again.
Inside, the building has been cleaned out and architectural design work is underway as plans continue to move forward.
Designed by Leslie Hodgson, the Union Stock Exchange Building stands alongside Ogden High School, the Forest Service Building, and the Municipal Building as one of the city's architectural treasures. We're excited to see this landmark continue its journey from endangered to restored.
