As the redevelopment and gentrification of the Marmalade and Capitol Hill neighborhoods progress, a largely forgotten area of Salt Lake City has come back into focus. Bike lanes, bus stops, and sidewalks have appeared along stretches of Beck Street, a place long inhospitable to those not driving semis or dump trucks. At Beck's southern terminus, the old Wasatch Warm Springs Plunge building has become the center of a concerted effort by the Warm Springs Alliance and other groups to reclaim the building as a community space and revitalize the surrounding green space to better reflect its history prior to the encroachment of its industrial neighbors. Many people are surprised to discover that a neighborhood - Swedetown - exists in the midst of what some call Refinery Row and has been there for nearly the entire history of the city, with a rich history all its own.
