For other buildings called Mechanics Hall, see Mechanics Hall. Mechanics' Hall, 1803 Mechanics' Hall was a meeting hall and theatre seating 2,500 people located at 472 Broadway in New York City, United States. It had a brown façade. Built in 1803 by the Mechanics' Society for their monthly meetings, it was also used for banquets, luncheons, and speeches held by other groups. The building eventually became a playhouse. During this time, it was variously known as the Abbey Theatre, Butler's American Theatre, and other names. The blackface minstrel troupe Buckley's Serenaders saw great success there until 1846. Christy's Minstrels became the resident minstrel company in February 1847, buying the building later in 1847. They remained until July 1854, when the troupe disbanded. Bryants Minstrels played at Mechanics' Hall for the first time in 1857. In 1866, showman Robert Butler took over management of Mechanics' Hall following a fire that destroyed his former theater at 444 Broadway. Butler's luck was no better in the new venue as Mechanics' Hall was also destroyed by fire later that year. References Crawford, Richard (2001). America's Musical Life: A History. New York: W. W.
