Heber City Amusement Hall
The Heber City Amusement Hall (also referred to as the Social Hall) is a Utah Historic Site registered in the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1906-1908, the Hall became a part of the Town Square complex, which included religious, governmental and recreational facilities. Designed by a Mr. Watkins from Provo and built of local red sandstone, the structure’s unusual dance floor was at one time considered to be one of the best in the state. The oval-shaped floor is set on 56 heavy coil springs and dancers often boasted of its’ excellent feel. While “sprung dance floors” were once common across Utah, it is believed that only a handful survive today. Additions were made to the west of the original structure in 1917 and 1928. The building was a major gathering place for many years, hosting numerous events consistent with a growing community, but age began to take a heavy toll. Once threatened by destruction, the Hall was saved through the efforts of concerned citizens. In more recent times, the building has served as a senior citizen hall, city’s recreational center activities, and home of the Daughters of Utah of Pioneers prior to Timpanogos Valley Theatre taking up residence in 2010.
