Wagner-Mozart Music Hall was a historic building located in Mason City, Iowa, United States. Built in 1936, this was one of, if not the first, building designed for a school music program.[2] The concrete and brick Moderne structure was designed by Hansen & Waggoner, and built by local workers from the Works Progress Administration who used local materials. The building contained rehearsal space for instrumental music programs and a large band and orchestra room. There were two entrances into the building with caps above them. One was marked "Wagner" and the other "Mozart." One entrance led into a student vestibule that led to the rehearsal rooms and instrument storage, and the other entrance led to a public vestibule that led to the auditorium/band room. The building was also made available for community meetings and other non-music functions. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1] It has subsequently been torn down.[3]
