“Coliseum — 1966”

The exact project or site has not yet been identified.

Why it matters

Potential evidence that Kelly's relationship with major clients continued long after original construction. Robert Moses assembled the Columbus Circle site for the Coliseum with federal acquisition money; the convention complex was demolished in 2000 and replaced by the Time Warner Center, now Deutsche Bank Center.
