The funeral for Hank Williams Sr. was held in an auditorium in Montgomery City Hall in January of 1953. When the Montgomery Civic Center was built in 1975, the hall fell into disuse. Eventually modern offices were built on the floor level of the municipal auditorium, and the stage and wings were used to records storage.
I went along on a tour of the old hall this week, which had all but disappeared from view inside the 1930's building. A stimulus-money funded renovation is going to bring the auditorium back into use as a place for city council meetings
. Here's the report I filed on CBS-8 on Thursday.
