Monterey Bandstand
Open-knowledge reference entry
Monterey Bandstand, also known as Kleckner Park Bandstand, is a historic bandstand located at Monterey, Indiana. It was built in 1912, and is a wood-frame structure measuring 12 feet 6 inches wide and 20 feet long. It is raised on 30 inch high piers. The building has a hipped roof and exhibits Queen Anne style design elements. The bandstand was restored in 1979.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.
The grandstand has deteriorated during the last several years due to flooding, weather and some vandalism. It has been sold to a private owner and will soon no longer be the property of the town of Monterey. The structure must be removed by the owner by Feb. 24, 2017.

Why this record matters
“Monterey Bandstand” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Monterey, Bandstand and Open-knowledge provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24886413. Authority coordinates are 41.160, -86.481. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1912, 1979, 2012 and 2017.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
