Missouri State Fair: Coliseum

Preservation services were provided for the rehabilitation of two contributing resources to the Missouri State Fairgrounds Historic District in Sedalia, Missouri: the Coliseum and Womans Building. The Coliseum, constructed in 1906, is one of the earliest buildings built on the fairgrounds.

The Coliseum is a 26,977 square foot steel truss and timber-framed structure with red brick veneer and terra cotta trimmed walls. Rehabilitation of the building included sitework repairs, roof and column structural repairs, asphalt roofing replacement, terra cotta repair, exterior painting, window and door repair and replacement, exterior lead paint abatement, and accessibility upgrades, including restroom upgrades, new handrails and ramps.
