The Delhi Coronet Band Hall served as the venue for many social and political events in Delhi, Minnesota.[3] A community band raised money to build the 1,600 square feet (150 m2) hall on a stone foundation and played the first concert there on June 11, 1896.[4] On November 25, 1902, residents met in the band hall to incorporate as a city and the first elections were held there.[5] The single level wood-frame building with a false front and belfry eventually became the town hall and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 1984.[6]

In 1997, the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota warned that it was in a "seriously deteriorated condition" and was virtually the only building left in the business district which had been two blocks long.[7] It was removed from the National Register in 2018.[2]
