corner of 100 South and State Street / Salt Lake, UT

- c.1900 -

Construction on the Salt Lake Theatre began in 1861 and finished in March of 1862 being the largest building at the time.
The theatre quickly gained prominence in Utah with more and more theatre companies being established. But after World War I
the motion picture business was extremely popular, the Salt Lake Theatre was in debt. Hebert J. Grant sold the theatre
to a company and the theatre was demolished in 1928.
