520 _a"The Allen County War Memorial Coliseum" by Otto H. Adams et al. is a historical account written in the early 1950s. This publication chronicles the journey of planning, financing, and constructing the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving both as a tribute to the residents who sacrificed their lives in the World Wars and as a community recreational facility. The book reflects on the community's efforts and decision-making process to create a “living memorial,” showcasing how the structure honors the past while serving the needs of the living. The book details the inception of the Coliseum project, beginning with a proposal by the Fort Wayne Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1944 and culminating in its completion in 1952. It highlights the various challenges faced, such as funding issues, community opposition, and political obstacles, along with the extensive public campaign which successfully gained voter support. The narrative also emphasizes the architectural design and features of the Coliseum, celebrating its role as both a memorial to Allen County's war dead and a significant community center that hosts various events, thereby enriching local culture and recreation.
