Description	The Coliseum, erected in 1926 for the Philadelphia Sesqui-Centennial Exposition, before being removed and shipped to the Bronx in 1928 for reassembly. The frame of the structure was on the former site of an amusement park called Starlight Park on East 177th St. Later it was used for sporting events and for the rebuilding of heavy motor trucks and vehicles by the U.S. Army during World War II. In 1946, it was purchased by the Third Ave. Transit Corp. and remained in use as a bus garage until it was destroyed for the current garage.
