Who Built Ogden Electric Light Tower History Question
A veteran recalls Ogden’s early electric light tower at Twenty fourth and Adams from the 1890s era. The oldtimer cites a four-arch arc design on a 140 foot tower, with a steam plant behind the courthouse, and notes the experiment failed to illuminate beyond a few blocks. He attributes the project to city officials and a company secretary BF Maybold, now in Salt Lake, while Dave Smith of the white haven crew is mentioned as a memory aid for details.
