Kingsbury Hall
Salt Lake City, Utah
The University of Utah dedicated its first auditorium, Kingsbury Hall, on 22 May 1930. The $275,000 assembly hall was funded by the State of Utah and named in honor of Joseph T. Kingsbury, who served as President of the University from 1897 until 1926. Kingsbury Hall is one of nine buildings in the University Circle historic district, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The auditorium was built with a projection booth and an organ loft, to accommodate silent films.

[Picture Shows and Theater Troups are Coming In]
Wasatch Wave, 19 November 1909, page 2
That our light is attractive to people outside of town is demonstrated by the way picture shows and theater troupes are coming in. The family theater holds forth two nights a week at the Opera house, the Alice Theater started up this week in Buell's Hall, the Beach and Bowers company gave us a call this week and several other concerns are casting goo goo eyes our way.
