The Kamas Theater was built in 1946 and is one of the town's historic buildings listed on Preservation Utah's 2025 list of most endangered historic places.

Preservation Utah has recognized 12 places on its 2025 Most Endangered Historic Places list, including one in Summit County.

The annual list brings attention to historic places that face threats of neglect and development to natural disaster and disuse.

This year, Preservation Utah recognized Kamas’ Main Street Corridor as an endangered historic place.

The oldest building on Main Street is the Rock House at 30 South Main Street, built in 1871. From the 1870s through the early 1900s the building doubled as a tithing storehouse and meeting house. In the early 1950s the building became the Kamas City Building and jail until around 2000.

Preservation Utah says 23 historic buildings remain along the Main Street corridor, many of which are in poor condition and need repair, which is why the area was added to the 2025 list.

Last year five Summit County locations were recognized on the endangered places list.

That includes two A-frame buildings and three mining-era buildings in Park city and the historic Byron T. Mitchell Home in Francis, which are all still considered endangered.
