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.

Ogden Standard Examiner, 29 August 1908, page 6
A horse belonging to James Ford, paper hanger, 141 Patterson avenue, near the corner of 23rd and Adams avenue, and breaking its bridle dashed down 23rd street to Washington, where it continued its flight until stopped in front of the Dreamland theater. One wheel of the wagon was demolished and several pedestrians had narrow escapes in avoiding the frightened animal.
