Griswold Memorial Auditorium
(1929)401 Hubbard Street
Marilla Griswold came to Allegan with her husband Isaac Griswold, pioneer lumberman, banker, and merchant. When Mrs. Griswold died in 1918 she bequeathed $100,000 to the city to build an auditorium. Completed in 1929 and nearly unchanged since then, the Griswold Memorial Auditorium features an auditorium seating more than seven hundred people, a reception room, and two meeting rooms. The Griswold Auditorium is home to the Allegan Community Players, Michigan's oldest theater company, and serves daily as a hub of community activity.
