Historic 25th Street Draft[edit]
History[edit]
25th street, originally known as 5th Street, lay a short distance away from the main depot where the rail lines converged. Many hotels and restaurants were built on 5th Street to give travelers an escape from the chaotic depot scene. Fifth Street became 25th Street in 1889, a year in which some historians claim the area gained its reputation for corruption and immorality.[1]
Today[edit]
The old style buildings and the history of 25th Street attract local patrons to it today. The street has also become a tourist attraction for Ogden visitors, allowing them to get a glimpse of the history of the western United States.[2] Twenty-Fifth Street was also a filming site for the 2002 television series Everwood and the 1999 movie Drive Me Crazy.[3]
