We spent a little time here walking around and across the street. Very interesting place. For more photos and movies: Drive from Bryce Canyon to Layton, UT via back roads  [ youtube video ]

It's a place called Osiris in Black Canyon UT founded by E. F. Holt, the financier-developer of Imperial Valley, California, in the late 1920s. Holt built a rock-walled creamery at Osiris, in Black Canyon, which was later converted into a grain processing plant.
Osiris named by Grace Holt, during it's construction in 1922.
this was a creamery (using the milk from herds on the farms in Henderson, Widstoe, etc.)

Osiris was officially founded when W.F. Holt purchased the Henderson Ranch in 1920 and invested heavily in this remote site located within Black Canyon. The Henderson Ranch was founded in 1910, but never amounted to much more than a single public building until Holt's investment capital came pouring in. Holt may have built here as a last ditch effort to save his investments in Widtsoe which were being threatened by drought. But to no avail.
Killed off by the same climate upheaval that displaced the citizens of Widtsoe, the abandoned site of Osiris is not only easily accessed via the paved John's Valley Road, but also features the impressive granary and ruined foundations of the creamery.:
