The West Point City Auditorium in West Point in Cuming County, Nebraska was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It is significant as a local venue for performing arts and community events, financed by local donations and ultimately purchased by the city in 1945. It was mainly designed by architect J.M.
