About This Vintage Postcard
Step into the grandeur of New Orleans cultural history with this vibrant linen-era postcard featuring the Municipal Auditorium. Opened in 1930 and located within walking distance of principal hotels, this massive facility was a marvel of its time. The back of the card highlights its innovative design, featuring a total seating capacity of 10,000 that could be divided into two separate halls: one seating 6,500 and the other 3,500. This view perfectly captures the building's imposing limestone facade and elegant arched windows, preserving its status as a cornerstone of New Orleans civic pride during the pre-war era.
