Wauchula City Hall was built in 1927 at a cost of $80,000. Regionally known architect M. Leo Elliot utilized a Spanish design for the building, which contained city offices, an auditorium, and the fire department complex in the rear. The auditorium had the largest seating capacity of any building south of Tampa, with 859 seats, and included a large stage, ample dressing rooms on either side, an orchestra pit for about twenty musicians, and two projection rooms in the rear for showing moving pictures.
