Although not built until the 1950s, it embodies the features of earlier and larger band shells as interpreted by a local builder/contractor.

Reportedly "Most builders in the area refused to bid on the project because they didn’t think the curved ceiling and roof could be built.

The Andersons set up an on-site “shop” to fabricate the trusses by laminating six-foot lengths of 2 x 6 fir lumber and then sawing them into the needed shapes.

This required true ingenuity and the Andersons, with local blacksmith Ray Oliver, designed and fabricated a tool that made this bending process not only possible, but easy to use.

"[2] Dr. Chassell also suggested the city should install permanent seating in front of the band shell, but this was not ever done.
