Concordia Hall was built to headquarter a German social club, the Concordia Society, which was begun in 1856 to help the sick and bury the departed. In 1888, it combined with the rival Germania Society, which had and still does have its hall on Chute Street.
Concordia was located at 310 Broad Street, and as the caption says, was the largest dance hall for a time in the twin cities. Home to many a wedding reception or church fair, Concordia was partially destroyed by fire August 11, 1903 and never rebuilt.
