Cinematic Utah: Journey to Ancient Egypt

Previously: Rejuvinated vs. Dilapidated

Let us turn back the sands of time to… the 1920s? During this decade a brief revival of Egyptian architecture swept America. Two Utah movie houses from the era still stand today. They managed to avoid the wrecking ball long enough to see extensive renovation and even resurgence in recent years. Being located in prominent cities like Ogden and Park City must have surely helped their cause. Either that or they have secured the protection of Seshat, the Egyptian goddess of architecture.
