The American Legion building in South Lake Tahoe had a sizable auditorium and stage. It was a popular site for diverse events, including dances and performers like Jim Burgett.

The auditorium’s roof collapsed under winter snowload in the late 1960s just prior to a big teenage dance scheduled for that night.

    Still the site of a lot of great parties and a place where Veteran’s are always welcome. It is my honor to be a member of the American Legion Auxilliary and be able to help.
