The Granada Theater, located at 241 South Main, in Salt Lake City, opened sometime around 1918 and was later renamed the American. In addition to its balcony, the theater was known to have an upstairs ballroom.
The Granada was later converted into office or retail space, and eventually demolished.

The Granada and American were the same theatre, The American #1475 should be combined with the Granada.
Could this have become the W.T. Grant downtown store? I remember years ago somebody saying that building had a ballroom upstairs, which I always thought was a strange thing for a Grant’s store to have.
An Austin theater organ opus 609 size 3/47 was installed in the American Theater in 1916.
