Description

The historic stone amphitheater on Old Main Hill at Utah State University in Logan, Utah was constructed in 1934 with funding from the Public Works Administration (PWA) and the USU Classes of 1925 and 1926.

The amphitheater is still in use, but one can see that the original wooden seats have long since been removed, leaving traces of their metal supports.
