    I think this is the same place the Chicago police have a lot of history with. Wasn't the 1968 democratic convention at the same building?
  • Dave Conner said:
    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Police History, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    Thanks for adding this to the Police History Group -- Seen in Police History (?)

    Love the stagecoach! Must have been a colorful anachronism for the California delegates to arrive at the hall in that contraption...

    The Coliseum was located on Wabash Avenue between 14th and 16th Streets. It was the second Coliseum, and was built by Charles Gunther (candy factory owner) in 1899. Gunther had an entire Civil War prison (Libby Prison) dismantled and shipped by railroad car to Chicago to build the Coliseum. Today there is a park on the corner of Wabash and 14th called "Coliseum Park". The slabs in the park are parts of the original structure.
