Ogden Arsenal, Change House, 6266 Hickory Lane, Layton, Davis County, UT
Summary
Significance: Building 1623, the change house for both the East and West Fuze Loading Plants, provides particularly vivid images of the accommodations made for worker safety and welfare at Ogden Arsenal during World War II. Workers in these plants handled Tetryl, a poisonous and highly explosive material. They changed into and out of coverall uniforms in Building 1623, which housed facilities for the workers to wash with sulphur and acetone. This building, along with other structures at the base, renders a unique picture of the U.S. Army build-up which occurred on the eve of and during World War II.
