SPRECKLES TEMPLE OF MUSIC
Construction of the Temple of Music was completed and dedication ceremony was
held on September 5, 1900. Over 75,000 people attended. Funds for
the project were donated by Claus Spreckles. The structure was built of
Colusa sandstone. The Contours was designed to serve crowds as large as
20,000, but the surrounding area holds many more for standing room only.
Musicians from John Philip Sousa to Pavarotti and the grateful Dead have
performed on the band shell. by Ernie L. Kapphahn
