Deerwood Auditorium

The Deerwood Auditorium is a community center in Deerwood, Minnesota, United States. It was built as a New Deal project from 1935 to 1937. In 1995 the auditorium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its local significance in the themes of architecture, politics/government, and social history. It was nominated for being an exemplary multipurpose municipal building funded by the New Deal, as well as Minnesota's largest project by the State Emergency Relief Administration, and a longstanding venue for community events.
The Deerwood Auditorium is a large, rectangular, two-story building. It features reinforced concrete walls faced with split fieldstone and Moderne-style cast stone trim. A medium-pitch gable roof completes the building. The facility became home to Deerfield's city council, public library, fire equipment, and later the police department. A gymnasium with a stage on the north end doubles as an auditorium. The second floor contains a balcony on either side of the auditorium, while the first floor also houses a kitchen and locker rooms. These spaces allowed the building to be used for a variety of purposes. Sporting events, community meetings, plays, and banquets have all been held in the building. Other events have included lectures, company meetings, exhibits, fraternal gatherings, and graduations.
