The iconic, large building on the west side of I-15 in Murray has long had an interesting story. Constructed in 1983 as the 49th Street Galleria, and later rebranded as the Utah Fun Dome, the building housed many family-friend activities, including an arcade, a bowling alley, a mini-golf course, a roller rink, and other forms of amusement. However, things went south rapidly after a 2003 gang-related shooting in the parking that injured four, including a small child. By 2005, the Fun Dome was closed and soon afterward, the iconic glass towers at the entrance were torn down. Investors attempted to convert the space into a school for international students, but nowadays, a nondenominational church, K2, occupies the building.
