Powell Hall, Symphony concert hall in Grand Boulevard, St. Louis, United States
The French Renaissance style Powell Hall features mirrored walls, crystal chandeliers, fluted Corinthian columns, and a dome ceiling with gold leaf decorations.
Built in 1925 as the St. Louis Theatre for vaudeville and films, the building transformed into Powell Hall in 1968 to house the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
The performance venue contains 2,683 seats and maintains its original architectural elements, including a grand stained glass window depicting Saint Louis IX.
Powell Hall remains closed through 2025 for extensive renovations that will add 65,000 square feet of space for education, rehearsal, and community activities.
Carl Stalling, who later composed music for Warner Bros Looney Tunes, started his career as an organist at this location during its theatre period.
