    Do we know what street that is? Just wondering if any of those stone structures are still standing.

    A railway station?
  • David B. Gleason said:
    Not a railway station, a sports arena, convention center, and exhibition hall.
  • Madame Maracas said:
    This is the second building with that name, and was located on Wabash Avenue, between 14th and 16th Streets until it was demolished in the 1980's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Coliseum
  • Wystan said:
    The 1912 Progressive Party ("Bull Moose") Convention was held at this same venue in August. It nominated former President Teddy Roosevelt for President and Governor Hiram Johnson of California for Vice President. Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, won the election in November.
  • TonyWen said:
    The Google Maps marker for the Coliseum is incorrect. It shows the Coliseum as between 16th and 18th Streets, but it was actually on the east side of Wabash between 14th and 16th Streets (per the Wikipedia article). A Buddhist center called Soka Gakka International and its parking lots are now on the site. Coliseum Park (which commemorates the Coliseum) is located acros the street on the southwest corner of 14th Place and Wabash.
