Municipal Auditorium is a multi-purpose facility located in Kansas City, Missouri with three halls. It opened in 1936 and features Streamline Moderne and Art Deco architecture and architectural details.
==Background==
Municipal Auditorium was one of the buildings built in 1934 as part of a "10-Year Plan" championed by various local politicians including Harry S. Truman and Thomas Pendergast. Other buildings in the plan included the Kansas City City Hall and the Kansas City branch of the Jackson County Courthouse.
It replaced Convention Hall which was directly across the street and was torn down for parking in what is now called the Barney Allis Plaza.
The streamline moderne architecture was designed by the lead architectural firm of Gentry, Voskamp & Neville to appeal to new visitors with cool and confident restraint. True to its name, the style promised to envelop the visitor in modernity, assuring him/her that Kansas City was a rising star in the country, a place to recommend to friends and colleagues. Alonzo H. Gentry, of the lead architectural firm of Gentry, Voskamp & Neville, was to later design the Truman Library. Hoit, Price & Barnes, the associated architects responsible for the HVAC work at the Municipal Auditorium, had recently designed the Art Deco skyscraper, the Kansas City Power and Light Building (completed in 1931).
When the building opened in 1935, it was called by the Architectural Record "one of the 10 best buildings of the world that year" 〔(''Alonzo H. Gentry, Architect, Is Dead'', Kansas City Times, February 7, 1967 )〕 In 2000, the Princeton Architectural Press called it one of the 500 most important architectural works in the United States.〔(Kidder G.E. Smith (2000), ''Source Book of American Architecture'', Princeton Architectural Press. ) ISBN 1-56898-253-4〕
Municipal Auditorium is connected to the H. Roe Bartle Convention Center by way of skywalks over 13th and Central streets. An underground walkway through a public parking garage provides access to the Kansas City Marriott Downtown, Holiday Inn Aladdin Hotel, and the Folly Theater.
