The Coliseum in Geneva was a historic building that served as a dance hall, meeting space, and event venue. Originally built as the new Hydrant Hose building on Castle Street in 1904, it featured large rooms and quarters for the fire company, as well as a dance hall on the top floor. The hall, also known as the Coliseum, hosted various events and fundraisers, including a fair and a celebration of Christopher Columbus’ discovery of America. In 1913, the fire company moved to temporary quarters to make way for a new tenant, and in 1914, the building was torn down. The Coliseum was last mentioned in 1914 as the site of a dancing school before being demolished in May 1974. Today, the site is occupied by the local offices of New York State Electric and Gas. The building’s rich history as a hub for social gatherings and community events has left a lasting legacy in Geneva’s past.
