Ogden Arsenal, Motor Service House, 7759 Navajo Way, Layton, Davis County, UT
Building 2003 housed an electric motor which operated the black powder screening machinery in Building 2002, where explosive chemicals that were used in ammunition primers were processed. These two buildings are the only ones of their type on the Base, and they provide insight into the chemical processing activities necessary for the manufacture of munitions at Ogden Arsenal during World War II. In addition, they contribute to an understanding of the U.S. Army build-up which occurred on the eve of and during World War II.
