Yes, I believe that is correct. Brenda, J.C. or Kenny would know for sure. Here is another pic of Memorial Hall:

Yep. That is indeed the steps of Memorial Hall. I think the pic was taken at the end of the 1977 season.

Memorial Hall was built by American Legion Post 76 in the post-WWI era.

When the Great Depression hit, they could no longer afford the facility and had to deed it over to the City of Racine.

However, Post 76 and their drum corps were given free use of the building for another 3 decades or so.

Check out the picture above. That's quite an impressive-looking corps hall !!!
