Picture Caption
The old C. G. Conn bandstand sits idle behind the old Conn plant on E. Beardsley Avenue, but a group of downtown businessmen propose to move it downtown. Built early in the century, the bandstand was used by the Conn band until World War II, when it was boarded up and converted for storage. Legend has it that John Philip Sousa once performed in it.
