Delhi Coronet Band Hall

The Delhi Coronet Band Hall served as the venue for many social and political events in Delhi, Minnesota.[2] A community band raised money to build the 1,600 square feet (150 m2) hall on a stone foundation and played the first concert there on June 11, 1896.[3] On November 25, 1902, residents met in the band hall to incorporate as a city and the first elections were held there.[4] The single level wood frame building with a false front and belfry eventually became the town hall and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 1984.[5]
