About this property

The San Antonio Municipal Auditorium was a building located at 100 Auditorium Circle, San Antonio, Texas. It was built as a memorial to American soldiers killed in World War I. The San Antonio Municipal Auditorium was also used as a concert venue. In 2009, most of the Municipal Auditorium was razed, and construction on the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts began on the same site. The Tobin opened in 2014. Portions of the exterior of the old auditorium had been preserved and were incorporated into the new structure.
