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.

Bow Party
COME ONE, COME ALL. TO SOCIAL HALL.
Vernal Express, 20 February 1891, page 3
Next Monday evening Feb. 23. 1891 there will be a bow dance at the new hall. The ladies understand of course that they each make two bows or neckties, one the lady wears, the other one she takes to the hall in a scaled envelope and delivers to the door-keeper. In due time the drawing takes place and the gentlemen consider that the lady who wears the match for his bow is his partner for the evening. All are invited.
