Turner Hall is a site in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, significant for its association with the American Turners, a German-American association. The four story building was designed by architect Henry C. Koch. The interior includes a ballroom with balcony level, restaurant and beer hall and meeting rooms.

In 1994 the Governor proclaimed Turner Hall one of the "Ten Most Endangered Historic Sites" in Wisconsin. It was declared a National Historic Landmarkin 1996.[2][3] In 2000, The Milwaukee Turners established the Turner Ballroom Preservation Trust to renovate and maintain the building.

It now hosts a wide variety of concerts. The Turner Hall Ballroom was awarded the "Venue of the Year" at the 2010 Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) awards.[4]


Since 1853 the Milwaukee Turners have played a central role in Milwaukee's civic and cultural life. 
The Ballrom has undergone a special renovation, using the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Majestic 
Theatre as a model, partly restoring The Ballroom to achieve a “modern ruin” look.

Turner Hall Ballroom is a two-story, 7,000-plus square feet space with a 31-foot by 56-foot raked 
stage on the east end and an expansive balcony that sweeps around the west and north ends. Since
 the late nineteenth century, the Ballroom has played host to a wide range of social, cultural, and 
political events. Turner Hall was a showplace for the panoramic painters and other German immigrant
 artists who dominated the Milwaukee art scene until the 1920’s and throughout the early 1900’s; 
Milwaukee residents visited this space for weekly concerts, dances, gymnastic competitions and 
theatrical presentations.
