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.

[City Council Permits Sunday Performances at Isis]
Eastern Utah Advocate, 20 July 1911, page 5
Price's city council now permits the Isis theater to give Sunday evening performances and a splendid audience was in attendance last Sunday. The pictures presented are clean and of the highest class. Just as good, in fact, in effect as presented at any of the larger houses throughout the country.
