Description In 1893 the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints built Saltair on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, sixteen miles from downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It was sold to a private individual in 1906. The architect of Saltair was Richard K.A. Kletting. It was a place that provided a wholesome recreation. The main attraction was swimming in the Great Salt Lake. There was also a roller coaster, a merry-go-round, a ferris wheel, midway games, bicycle races, touring vaudeville companies, rodeos, bullfights, boat rides on the lake, firework display and even hot-air balloons. In 1925 it burned to the ground. A new pavilion was designed and built but it never regained its popularity. It closed for good in 1958. It was again destroyed by fire in November of 1970.
