Stambaugh Auditorium

Stambaugh Auditorium is a multi-purpose hall in Youngstown featuring a grand concert hall with approximately 2,500 seats, a formal garden, and several function rooms. The building includes the Jeanne D. Tyler Grand Ballroom and Anne K. Christman Memorial Hall designed for private events and community gatherings.

The auditorium was established through the will of Henry H. Stambaugh, a wealthy businessman, and opened in 1926 to provide entertainment and education for Youngstown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and continues to serve its original purpose as a cultural institution.

The restored pipe organ in the concert hall remains central to performances throughout the year. The venue serves as a gathering place where orchestras, bands, and theater companies present their work to the community.

The venue is accessible and can accommodate many types of events from concerts to private celebrations. It is helpful to plan ahead since different areas are suited to different occasions and event sizes.

The building's design was inspired by the Pantheon in Paris, featuring fluted Ionic columns and distinctive wrought iron details on the facade. These French classical influences give it a distinctive character that stands apart from other structures in the area.
