    Got to see the building one when I was a kid. I thought it was a prison.

    Such a gorgeous building, what a shame a monument like this was taken down.

    15th and Wabash. For a couple of years I’ve been biking by Coliseum Park at that intersection and couldn’t figure out what the park was named for. The name seemed too grand for such a little neighborhood park. Makes so much sense now, thanks for posting this!
