Peery's Egyptian Theater

Description
Peery's Egyptian Theater is a movie theater in Ogden that showcases Egyptian Revival style throughout its interior and exterior. Lotus-shaped columns, hieroglyphic-inspired patterns, and ancient Egyptian ornamentation create a cohesive design from the lobby to the main hall.
History
The building opened in 1924 when Egyptian design was sweeping across America following the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb. It quickly became one of the most popular gathering places for entertainment in the region.
Culture
The theater continues to serve as a venue for films and live performances as it has since its opening. Visitors can experience how early 20th-century audiences enjoyed entertainment in a space designed specifically to transport them to another world.
