Information for this tour was contributed by Grant Smith. The Centre Theater, which opened December 24, 1937, was considered one of Salt Lake's finest examples of Art Deco architecture. One of its most unique features was the 90-foot tower located above the theater.
When the Centre opened it had 1,623 seats, but installation of a 56-foot wide screen in 1959 reduced seating to 1,174.
In 1989, Cineplex Odeon let its lease run out so the owners could demolish the building. A new office tower was built on the site, along with a bland 6-screen multiplex.
