Beethoven Hall (Boston) facts for kids
Beethoven Hall (1874-1878) was an auditorium in Boston, Massachusetts, that hosted musical performances and other entertainments in the 1870s. It sat on Washington Street, near Boylston Street, in today's Boston Theater District/Chinatown neighborhood. The architect was William Washburn, who had also designed the first National Theatre and the second Tremont Temple.
In 1879 the renovated hall re-opened as the Park Theatre. The building survived until 1990, when it was razed.
