Cotillion Ballroom
Wichita, KS |
 |
|
The Cotillion Ballroom was built in 1960 and has a 24 foot tall dome. The building can hold 2,000 people. It continues to be used for concerts, dances, and stage shows. The neon sign shown in the first photo was replaced with a plastic and LED sign in 2007. I believe the sign installed on the poles in front of the building was part of the old sign.
