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.

Dreamland Theater
Ogden Standard Examiner, 10 March 1908, page 7
The management, Charles and George Driskell, are to be congratulated on their newly arranged and newly remodeled theater. It is really a big improvement to the stores on the east side of Washington avenue, and will do much in drawing the people over to that side, not only for the pleasure they can receive, but for business. With such permanent and elegant improvements, the Dreamland should be a place to spend hours of real pleasure.
