In the late 1800's this ten-acre block later served as fairgrounds. Then in 1908, Union Pacific magnate E. H. Harriman chose this site for his state-of-the-art trolley car system. Investing $3.5 million on an unusual, mission-style carbarn complex, within six years of opening more than 144 trolleys served the Salt Lake Valley from this site until the transit line was discontinued in 1945. The old and decaying complex was saved from demolition in 1972 when the carbarns were transformed into Trolley Square. Registered as a historic site by the state of Utah in 1973, the Square was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

One online reviewer said, "I live close to Salt Lake and I visit Trolley Square at least once a year sometimes up to five times. I love all the shops that they have and Rodizio's is definitely the best restaurant that Salt Lake has to offer. I recommend it for everybody. Every year Trolley Square had something different about it that makes it so much better.''
