 place with historical importance, historical layer / disappeared object
Saltair was one of the first amusement parks west of the Mississippi. Completed in 1893. Was destroyed by fire on April 22,1925, and was then rebuilt. Closed in 1958. Attempts over the next decade to breathe new life into the resort finally ended in November 1970, when an arson fire was set in the center of the wooden dance floor, completely destroying Saltair. It rested on 2,000 posts and pilings.

Saltair was the site where much of the 1962 cult horror film "Carnival of Souls" was filmed.
