UTE Theatre exterior

Sadly, all of the architectural remains that were purchased before the theater was razed and later re-installed in the Flying W Ranch’s steakhouse are now gone forever. On June 12, 2012, the devastating Waldo Canyon wildfire overran the Flying W, reducing the entire facility to ashes. Not to be overlooked was the corresponding total loss of 346 nearby residences in the Shadow Mountains subdivision. A sad sad day for Colorado Springs history.
