Tacony Music Hall, Historic theatre in Tacony, Philadelphia, US

The three-story Victorian brick structure at 4815 Longshore Avenue features detailed terracotta decorations, metal cornices, and stained glass windows throughout its facade.

Built in 1885 by druggist Frank W. Jordan, the building incorporated retail spaces on the ground floor and an auditorium for performances on the second level.

The venue welcomed prominent speakers including P.T. Barnum and Susan B. Anthony, while housing the Disston Library and Free Reading Room on its third floor.

The first floor contains commercial spaces and a dance school, while the upper levels serve as offices and research facilities for local organizations.

The building transformed from a furniture warehouse during World War II to its current restored state, earning National Register of Historic Places status in 1990.
