Low brick storefronts cross at 2100 South and Highland Drive, with bungalow and Victorian streets around Sugar House Park.
What Sugar House looks like
Highland Drive meets 2100 South at the center of the shopping district, low brick storefronts on every corner under a bank of traffic signals. Some fronts keep their original brick and terra cotta trim, and newer buildings along the block are faced in brick veneer or metal panel. The S Line streetcar runs on an open platform two blocks south, a bench under a steel shelter and no fare gates.
Off the crossing the streets turn residential, one and a half storey Craftsman bungalows with round river stone porch piers standing next to taller Victorian houses with patterned shingle gables and corner towers. Lawns run to the sidewalk with no fences between them, and mature trees shade the block. Some porches still have their original stone piers and wood columns.
opens along the east side of the district, a broad lawn split by paved paths and edged with pine and birch trees. A stone monument stands near the park's entrance on 1100 East, and the Wasatch Range rises above the tree line on a clear day.
The stands a half block south of the crossing, its front faced in striated red to brown brick with pale terra cotta trim and dating from 1928. stands a block east on 2100 South. Its front is also red brick, with cream stone trim below a stepped gable over the arched doorway. Both buildings back onto residential streets on one side and the commercial strip on the other.

What Sugar House can double for
Old South Pearl Street in Denver, Colorado
Old South Pearl Street runs through Platt Park as a small shopping strip between Buchtel and Jewell Avenues, tree lined with the same mix of craftsman bungalows and Tudor houses on the blocks around it. The scale is close to Sugar House's own crossing, a few blocks of local shops rather than a downtown strip. Denver's storefronts run in a straight line rather than a crossing, so a corner shot needs Sugar House's own intersection instead. Try searching tree lined shopping strip now.
South Perry District in Spokane, Washington
South Perry Street holds a short run of brick storefronts between 7th and 12th Avenues, surrounded by the same craftsman bungalow blocks that fill much of the city. The node is smaller than Sugar House's crossing, closer to one block than four corners. Spokane's brick tends darker red, so a colour match needs checking against the specific storefront chosen.

Highland Park in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Highland Park's business node sits at Ford Parkway and Cleveland Avenue, with Tudor and rambler houses on the streets around it rather than Sugar House's own craftsman mix. The crossing shape is similar, two commercial streets meeting at right angles. The Tudor houses read differently on camera from Sugar House's bungalows, so a wide establishing shot works better than a close street portrait. Try searching Tudor houses crossing now.
