The Sprague Library

July 19, 2011 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

By Kylee Hill If the impressive building, with its sweeping Tudor-style architecture and gnarled, mature trees, looks out of place couched in the middle of the Sugar House shopping district, it’s for good reason: It’s been there since 1928, and though Sprague has undergone multiple expansions, it remains one of the best-preserved treasures in Salt Lake City.
