Two buildings of the factory complex of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company survive: a factory office and rooming house building, and a warehouse building. These buildings were deemed significant for association with the company, which was "the single most important agri-business in Sevier County history. The factory's economic and social impact on local communities, as assessed by a recent county wide historical survey, exceeds that of any other business enterprise for the years 1911 to 1928. Also, the Elsinore plant is significant as a good representative of the overall sugar beet industry in Utah and as an excellant [sic] example of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company's contribution to the history of the state."[2]
The factory office and rooming house building is a one-and-a-half-story rectangular-plan building. Its ground floor is brick and includes segmental arches at its openings. Above it is frame-built with shingle siding. Paired shed dormers break the roof along the broad sides. There is a small portico with a gable roof over the rear entrance. The factory office used the ground floor; above were rooms for seasonal employees.[2]
The warehouse is a large brick building, also rectangular in plan and with a gable roof, and also with segmental arches over openings. The appearance of a cornice is created by brick corbelling at the roof line.[2]
The complex was built by E.H. Dyer & Sons.[2]
The term Weight Station Inn has also applied.[2]
