Coliseum Ballroom

The Coliseum Ballroom, also referred to as the Col Ballroom, is a ballroom and concert venue that operated from November, 1914 to October 26, 2018 at its current location. The venue was originally built across the street from the current location in 1898 as a 4000-seat auditorium for the 18th annual Saengerfest and was initially called Saengerfest Halle. After the festival, the building was mainly used for storage. In 1906, new owners added a second story and turned the location into a dance hall named The Coliseum. The original location was destroyed by fire October 21, 2013 and a new structure was built across the street at its current location.
