It was built in 1885 to a design by Philip Edmunds for William L. Wallace.","why_significant":"The nomination argues that the building is the finest surviving example of the Queen Anne style applied to a non-residential building in Westchester County. It is also one of the county's few remaining music halls. It has kept its original function of providing public entertainment for nearly ninety-five years, and its main facade has some of the best decorative brickwork in the county.","narrative":"Tarrytown Music Hall, at the corner of Main Street and Kaldenburg Place, was commissioned by local chocolate manufacturer William L. Wallace and designed by architect Philip Edmunds. Completed in 1885 at a cost of fifty thousand dollars, it combined shops at street level, offices and apartments above, and a large auditorium at the rear. The turreted front uses exposed brick with terra-cotta ornament, while the theatre section is covered in stucco and half-timber. The hall hosted concerts, balls, roller skating, flower shows, political speeches and, from 1901, moving pictures. Alterations included electric lighting in 1910, a relocated entrance in 1915, and a sloped floor with permanent seating in 1922. Its Queen Anne exterior remains almost entirely intact. The building is regarded as the finest non-residential Queen Anne example in Westchester County and as one of the county's few surviving music halls. It has never served a purpose other than entertainment.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Philip Edmunds","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"The form describes the building as in fair condition, with major interior alterations but a largely intact 1885 exterior apart from an early twentieth-century entrance change. It continues to serve as a theatre.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.984139-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/80002795.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002795/be080183ca-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/80002795/be080183ca-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 2.0","author":"Ed from Queens, USA.
