Worcester Memorial Auditorium
"I believe that Worcester needs an Auditorium.
That is undoubtedly one of the next large activities toward which public sentiment should direct itself."
- Worcester Mayor Pehr G. Holmes, January 9, 1917
Since 1933, the Worcester Memorial Auditorium - known locally as "the Aud" - has towered over Lincoln Square. Built primarily to honor the 9,000 Worcester citizens who fought in World War I, this awe-inspiring edifice was also an important community gathering place.
Now vacant, the Auditorium has fallen into disrepair. The time has come to restore it.
The Architectural Heritage Foundation (AHF) is spearheading the building's redevelopment. We are a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to revitalizing communities through historic preservation. Through public-private cooperation, we will preserve and redevelop the Auditorium as a vibrant cultural, technological, and educational center that will anchor the resurgence of Lincoln Square.
