Sublett Hall was a public meeting hall and playhouse located at 2011½ & 2013½ 2nd Avenue North.
The hall was conceived and constructed in 1872 by builder Frank O'Brien, who painted the scenery himself and acted as promoter for the next two years. The hall was later operated by the German Society of Birmingham. It hosted meetings of the 1874 Alabama Press Association convention and the organizational meetings of First Christian Church. It also staged performances by the Birmingham Thespian Corps and Grambs' Military Band.
