Tom Sefcik Hall

Temple, TX

The hours online (and on its facade) for this historic dance hall in Temple, TX state that it's open from 5 p.m., but that was not the case when I arrived on a Saturday afternoon. It looked as closed as a castle siege. However, some further research on the dance hall's Facebook page shows that it is in fact still open, though on select days and with limited hours.

According to the Dallas Morning news, "Sefcik Hall, built in 1923, is one of the last original dance halls in the region, a fading piece of Texas culture. They were built by German and Czech immigrant communities and transformed into honky-tonks and bars where Texas music was born and raised."
