The Tacony Music Hall is a historic building in the Tacony neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Contents

The three-story brick building was erected in 1885 by Frank W. Jordan, a local druggist and entrepreneur, as a multi-use facility, with retail shop space on the first floor, an auditorium on the second, and space for the Keystone Scientific and Literary Association (founded 1876, later called the Disston Library and Free Reading Room) on the third.

P. T. Barnum and Susan B. Anthony lectured here.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Today, the beautifully restored building is occupied by the local civic association, historical society, and several businesses including a pre-school on the first floor and recording, production and music instruction studios on the third.

A movement is underway to return the historic music hall to its original purpose as the cultural and artistic center for a resurgent Tacony. Current plans include a proposed sex positive community center.
