The Waldron

Description: 

Built in 1915, The Waldron served as Bloomington’s City Hall and subsequently housed the City’s police and fire departments until the City deeded the property in 1990 to the Bloomington Area Arts Council. Since then, the building has provided gallery space, classroom space for art education, two performance spaces, meeting rooms, and offices, and since 1994 has been the home of WFHB Community Radio. Ivy Tech owned and operated the building as a community art center from 2010 - 2020. The City of Bloomington resumed ownership of the building in 2020 and formed a task force to determine the future of the building. At the recommendation of the task force, the City contracted with Constellation Stage and Screen to manage the facility in July 2022. 

Bloomington’s Old City Hall building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Courthouse Square Historic District.
