The Coliseum was built in 1861 and was used for roller skating and boxing until about 1897, when it was renamed the Star Theater and used for live theater as well as church services. A fire in 1901 severely damaged the Star Theater, and after rebuilding it became the Lyceum Theater. Plays, burlesque shows and silent movies were presented until the theater’s demolition in the twenties.
