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, 14 October 1911, page 6
Reconstruction work on the interior of the Lyceum theater on Twenty-fifth street, between Grant and Lincoln avenues, has begun, the carpenters at present being engaged rebuilding the stage which was almost completely destroyed by a fire a short time ago. The chairs and ceiling of the playhouse were so blistered by the fire that they will have to be retinted and repainted.
