A Historical and Architectural Icon

The Chautauqua Auditorium, built in 1903, is a large historic icosagonal (20-sided) wooden Chautauqua meeting hall located in the center of Forest Park on North East 9th Street.  Highly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chautauqua was an adult education movement in the United States. Chautauqua assemblies broadened and spread throughout rural America until the mid-1920s. The Chautauqua brought entertainment and culture for the whole neighborhood, with instructors, teachers, speakers,  musicians, preachers and performers of the day.
