The Town Hall, Performing arts center at West 43rd Street, Manhattan, United States.
The Town Hall is a performing arts venue with Georgian Revival architecture located on West 43rd Street in Manhattan, offering around 1500 seats. The building features a brick facade with limestone details and a two-tier seating arrangement for various events.
The building was commissioned by the League for Political Education and designed by McKim, Mead & White, opening in 1921. It originally served as a forum for speeches and discussions before attracting musicians and performers.
The venue began as a platform for political speeches, then transformed into a space where artists like Marian Anderson and Duke Ellington performed. Today, visitors can witness how this room hosts diverse artistic expression and debate.
The venue sits between Broadway and Sixth Avenue in a central Manhattan location, making it easily accessible. Concerts, debates, lectures, and artistic events run throughout the year in this performance space.
The building faced closure in 1978, but community preservation efforts saved it from demolition. This rescue ultimately led to its designation as a National Historic Landmark in 2012.
