Title: McCarthy Album 09, Photograph 016
Description: Caption: "Saltair Pavilion - Great Salt Lake," c.1923. Interior of the Saltair Pavilion on Utah's Great Salt Lake. Constructed in 1893 and designed by Richard K.A. Kletting, the Saltair resort set out to be the Western counterpart of Coney Island. The resort was a popular spot for Mormon families, only fifteen miles from Salt Lake City and overseen by Church leaders. The Church sold the building in 1906. It was later destroyed by fire in 1925, but a second pavilion was quickly built.
Contributor: Audrey Fullerton-Samora of Sacramento, great niece of William and Grace McCarthy, donated the William M. McCarthy Photograph Collection to the California State Archives in 1996.
