The Tarpon Springs City Hall, also known as the Old Tarpon Springs High School is a historic school building in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It is located at 324 East Pine Street. On October 11, 1990, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Performing Arts Center which is also located in this building is known for its small-town intimate atmosphere with big city acoustics and performances. Broadway musicals, opera, and plays, classical, folk, and Celtic concerts are presented in each year-round season lineup.
As mentioned, this Mediterranean Revival and Beaux Arts-style building was originally constructed as a school in 1926 following the plans of noted Florida architect Emmett Hull. After the building was no longer used by the school board, the City of Tarpon Springs purchased it and, with the help of historic preservation grants, restored it in 1987 (the City’s centennial year).
