Historic auditorium seats available from Ogden HS

Posted by: kirk

Ogden High School auditorium seats are seeking a good home.  They would prefer another historic auditorium, but a non-profit, historic theater would be a great second choice as well.

As you may know, Ogden High School is currently undergoing an $65 million restoration, so any organization that can purchase these historic seats will have first preference and should make their desire known immediately.  Should a fledgling non-profit or school that is otherwise in the midst of restoring a historic theater or auditorium space and could use donated seats, the Ogden School District and Foundation will look at your proposals on a case-by-case basis.

Contact Gary Reed at the Ogden School District, 801.737.7311 / reedg@ogdensd.org, with your needs and your proposal.

I work for an architecture firm in Pensacola, Florida and we are currently renovating a historic downtown theatre in Milton, Florida that was damaged by a fire a couple of years ago. The theatre dates back to 1912 and we will be needing some theatre seating for the balcony levels. Are these chairs still available? What are the sizes of them? What do we need to do to gather more information? Thanks.
