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.

Placing Steel at the Alhambra Theater
Ogden Standard Examiner, 6 October 1914, page 6
This morning the large derrick at the Alhambra theatre building began placing heavy steel beams and pillars for the ceiling and roof of the structure. One piece of steel frame work which will be placed across the arc of the stage weighs nine tons. It will rest on heavy steel pillars.
The concrete work for the basement and the first floor has been completed in the rough, and brick work has been started on the walls from the first floor.
