Granger Hall, Concert hall in National City, United States.
Granger Hall is a concert hall in National City featuring a spacious auditorium with a cedar shingle exterior. The venue holds around 150 seats and incorporates non-parallel walls and a forward-sloping floor to enhance sound quality.
The hall was commissioned in 1898 by Ralph Granger, who made his fortune from silver mining in Colorado. He hired prominent architect Irving Gill to design the building.
The ceiling features a large mural of Euterpe, the muse of music, surrounded by cherubs painted on linen by D. Samman, reflecting the hall's purpose and artistic heritage.
The hall is relatively small and intimate, making it suitable for different types of events. The sloped floor and acoustic design ensure good sightlines and sound quality for visitors.
Inside the hall, a pipe organ is enclosed by an intricately carved fretwork grille made of kiln-dried cedar. This handcrafted element demonstrates the careful craftsmanship invested in the hall's design.
