    1912 Republican National Convention was held at held at Chicago Coliseum Chicago, Cook County, Illinois June 18 to 22, 1912. politicalgraveyard.com/parties/R/1912/index.html

    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.

  • Wystan said:
    California's delegates may have been solid for Teddy Roosevelt (candidate for a non-consecutive third term) for the 1912 GOP nomination, but incumbent President William Howard Taft got the nod. Roosevelt, who had handpicked Taft as his successor but felt betrayed by the rightwing course Taft followed once in office, then bolted to the new Progressive Party, and became the "Bull Moose" candidate. The three-way split in the November election gave the win to Woodrow Wilson and the Democratic Party.

    I think the tag "cable car" is wrong. I don't see a cable slot. Look like electric trolleys.
