The bandshell is built of native limestone that was quarried from near the Beulah Highway.
The bandshell was built in 1938.
The structure was originally built by the WPA, with an emphasis on teaching building skills in variuos related fields such as masonry, carpentry, electrical and plumbing, in order to train workers in a job skill useful in later work. The design and craftsmanship show the progression of workers in training. The structure is a physical representation of the struggles experienced by Puebloans and all americans to survive the great depression.
The bandshaell is showing signs of damage. There are some cracks in the dome.
