The Music Hall was a historic theatre located at 23 West Main Street in Clinton, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 7, 1982, for its significance in commerce, education, music, theatre and film.[2] In 1995, it was also listed as a contributing property of the Clinton Historic District.[3]

History

The Music Hall was built in 1890 and presented performances of many forms of American popular entertainment.[2]

On May 15, 2016, a fire destroyed the interior of the building, then known as Clinton Center.[4] It was demolished later that year.[5]
