Completed
in 1925, the Macon City Auditorium is nestled in the historic
district of downtown Macon and is, in itself, a historic landmark
listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Its monumental
assembly hall - circular in plan - is about the size of the
Pantheon in Rome and its unique copper dome is reportedly the
largest in the world. Adding even more to its splendor and stately
architecture is the Doric-style limestone colonnade which surrounds
three sides of the building at the balcony level.
On the inside,
the Great Hall seats 2,688 total - 1,700 on the main floor and
988 in a cantilevered balcony. Over the stage, a breathtaking
mural by Don Carlos Dubois and Wilbur Kurtz depicts Macon's
history from DeSoto's visit in 1540 to WWI.
And the
history just doesn't stop. Hundreds of big name entertainers
and thousands of regular folks continue to make their marks
here with some of the most successful concerts, events and meetings
in the region.
Given the
opportunity, we can make your event one for the history books,
too!
