Park City High School was originally located at 1255 Park Avenue in Park City. [3] It was constructed in February 1928 at a cost of $200,000 (equivalent to $3.16 million in 2021) [4] [5] and was a modified Collegiate Gothic style brick building with three levels. [6] The building was abandoned in 1981, when a new high school was constructed on Kearns Boulevard. The original building has since been restored and serves as the Park City Library and the Jim Santy auditorium, which hosts screenings during annual Sundance Film Festival and the Park City Film Series. The 1981 Kearns complex remains in service and has been partially updated by Salt Lake City based architectural firm VCBO. The current high school stands on a site of 35 acres (14 ha) and consists of three levels.
