Summary
The Superior City Hall and Auditorium, Art Deco in style, was built in 1936 with the assistance of a Public Works Administration (PWA) grant and loan. Federal relief programs, such as the PWA, sought to alleviate the extreme poverty of the American public during the Great Depression. For the construction of the auditorium, the citizenry of Superior committed themselves to higher taxes, but in return, saw the creation of jobs and a facility that has contributed to the livability of Superior as a charming mid-sized community for the last seventy-five years.
