The Town Hall, Performing arts center at West 43rd Street, Manhattan, United States.

The Town Hall features a Georgian Revival architectural design with brick facade, limestone details, and two-level auditorium seating 1495 spectators.

The League for Political Education commissioned McKim, Mead & White to construct this venue, which opened on January 12, 1921 with General Pershing speaking.

The venue transformed from a political speech platform into a performance space where artists like Marian Anderson, Duke Ellington, and Bob Dylan performed.

Located between Broadway and Sixth Avenue, The Town Hall presents concerts, debates, lectures, and artistic events throughout the calendar year.

The building survived closure in 1978 through community preservation efforts, leading to its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 2012.
