The Brandon Auditorium and Fire Hall, on Holmes Ave. in Brandon, Minnesota, is a historic fire station and other facility. It has also been known as the Brandon Auditorium and City Hall. It was built as a Works Progress Administration project during 1935–36. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.^[1]

It is a unique municipal hall. It has been described as Minnesota's most creative WPA construction project and a symbol of its dual success in generating jobs and public buildings.^[2] Now the Brandon History Center.

It was designed by Minneapolis architect F. Boes Pfeifer to serve as a combination gymnasium/auditorium, fire hall, and village office. It had a 27 feet (8.2 m) stage, and a balcony with a movie projection booth. The two-stall fire engine garage was no longer operational since the 1970s.^[3]
