Brandon Auditorium

Brandon City Hall and Auditorium was built in 1936 to replace an earlier 1890 village hall. Designed by Minneapolis architect F. Boes Pfeifer and constructed by Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers, it was considered highly innovative for its time and represents some of the most creative WPA-era architecture in Minnesota. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building is faced in fieldstone and concrete and has a unique asymmetrical design, with stones from local landowners selected for shape and texture and sculptural elements placed above the main entrance. Inside, a mural decorates the wall. Today, the Brandon Auditorium houses the Brandon History Center and remains a popular gathering place for weddings, family reunions, church events, community plays, and elections.
