The Arena, 1897 - Wallach Collection NYPL
1895 Bromley Map
Another name for the building at NE Corner of Broad and Cherry in 1898 was The Arena - Following titles of Cyclorama Building 1885-1892, Winter Circus 1892-?.
Many names, many usages and many memories to confuse minor research into the oddly shaped rent a hall, rent a stage building pictured above.
The name Arena by association with the Arena Athletic Club that staged boxing bouts there. I am not certain if this club was amateur and or professional for cash prize boxing events.
Recruiting for the Spanish American War - Inquirer 23 Apr 1898
Seating for the Peace Jubilee Parades October 1898 - Declaring peace and victory over Spain before the Peace Treaty was signed. -- Inquirer 25 Oct 1898
