About

War Memorial Hall at Newton City Hall, a striking example of Georgian Revival architecture designed by Allen and Collens in 1932, now serves as a distinguished venue for classical music concerts and cultural events. With its grand Corinthian columns, brick pilasters, and elegant steeple, the hall offers an acoustically rich and visually impressive setting. Surrounded by a landscape designed by the Olmsted Brothers—featuring reflective ponds, formal pathways, and open lawns—the venue provides a serene and dignified environment that enhances the concert experience. The building’s historical ambiance and refined architecture make it a favored location for performances that honor both artistic and civic traditions.
