The Lyceum Theater, later known as The Victory, was constructed
about1915 by John R. Baxter, Jr. It featured silent
films and later “talkies.” The “hall” was sold to the LDS
Church and served as a recreational center until 1976 when
the cultural hall addition to the LDS chapel was completed.
Sandstrom’s Pool and Dance Hall (right) -
William Sandstrom built this two-story adobe-lined, wood
frame commercial building about 1911. The first floor operated
as a pool hall with a dance hall above. After Sandstrom’s
death, James W. Blain ran a grocery store here and
in the teens it was the post office. It also served as a bicycle
shop, WPA library, and Dahl’s Grocery. |
