Nu-Crisp. that was the name of the candy store.
Here is a link that says all about it.
http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=2323646&itype=CMSID&page=2I am glad there are people out there who care about the Historic Sugarhouse.
I think there was a prison once in sugar house too, where Sam Taylor's father (one of the 12, son of John Taylor) spent some time in prison for practicing polygamy, before he got ex-d.
There must have been a sugar factory there too at some time, otherwise why call it SugarHouse. Sam Taylor's grandfather had a big hand in bringing the Sugar Industry to Utah, which was a Good Thing because without sugar there would be no Snelgrove's Ice Cream and no Nu-Crisp Caramel Corn. Something about he converted some French folks who knew how to get Sugar from beets as opposed to cane.
I sure do miss the old Sugarhouse.
