The New Opera House.
Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 July 1890, page 4
The contracts were let yesterday for the scenery of the new Opera House. Work is being pushed with all possible speed, about eight cars of stone being laid daily. The foundation will soon be down and brick-laying will at once begin.
Sosman & Landis, a noted firm of Chicago artists, have been given the contract, and promise the best of work and material. The scenery will be a duplicate of that used in the new California theater, San Fransisco. Thos G. Moses will be the artist. Ogden will have a theatre that will have no superior, if equal, in the West, and the owners deserve great credit for their enterprise. It is expected that the house will be finished, scenery all set, and everything ready to open early in December, not later, S. T. Whitaker is the architect.
