==Summary==
The Milligan Auditorium, constructed in 1929-30, stands today as perhaps the most significant Czech-American building in Nebraska representing the period of coalescence and assimilation (c.1920-60). Of the ten halls recorded in the Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey that were constructed by liberal Czechs during this period, this auditorium is the only one to have been built by an association of multiple organizations. Saline Center Hall was also built by an association of groups, but it was an association of lodges of the same organization, re-formed by merger. Milligan's association of four separate lodges of the Z.C.B.J., a vesna of the J.C.D., a society of the T.J. Sokols, and a local dramatic club is unique among the public Czech halls in Nebraska. A very strong sense of cultural coalescence is evident in this unique association.
