Granger Music Hall holds a special place in Oma Wegeforth’s heart.
For years, she lived adjacent to the National City landmark, built for her late husband’s grandfather, entrepreneur Ralph Granger. It’s where Wegeforth and her husband, Lester, hosted countless plays, weddings and other celebrations.
“I have so many fond memories,” Wegeforth, 95, said last week.
Much to the dismay of Wegefort and many others the historic building’s condition has deteriorated over the past decade. Weather conditions, vandals and very little upkeep have contributed to the damage.

Wegeforth has waited anxiously for the city to take action to preserve the music hall, which has been unused for the past decade.
