This is Powell Symphony Hall, in St. Louis, Missouri.  Formerly known as the St. Louis Theater, it is the home of the St. Louis Symphony. It is named after Walter S. Powell, a local business man whose widow donated $1 million towards the purchase and use of this hall.  It seats 2,683, though when built in 1925 it originally house 4,100 seats.  In my junior year of high school, my orchestra class took us on a trip to St. Louis and we were able to get the pleasure of watching the St. Louis symphony perform in this building.  It was very extravagant, and the sound reverberated perfectly so we could hear every instrument ring throughout the hall.  I will always remember the lighting, ambience, company, and music of that night.
