Houston Music Hall

Houston Music Hall, Concert venue in downtown Houston, United States.

Houston Music Hall was a 2,200-seat music venue in Houston, Texas, built alongside the Sam Houston Coliseum. Both were designed by architect Alfred C. Finn and financed by the Works Progress Administration at a cost of $1.3 million. The hall opened in November 1937 and was demolished in 1998.

Architect Alfred C. Finn designed this structure in 1937 through the Works Progress Administration, a federal program providing work during the Great Depression. It replaced an earlier wooden building that had served the city since the 1928 Democratic National Convention.

The hall shared its opening month, November 1937, with the adjoining Sam Houston Coliseum, both designed by Alfred C. Finn. The two buildings replaced Sam Houston Hall, a wooden structure put up for the 1928 Democratic National Convention and torn down in 1936. The site is now occupied by the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, opened in 2003.

The building was located at what is now the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts site, at the corner of Bagby Street and Texas Avenue in downtown Houston. Today this area remains a central point in the city's performing arts district, making it easy to find the historic location.
