Information

106 North Race Street, or Rose Bowl Tavern, was designed by the Urbana architect Joseph Royer in the Beaux-Arts style, and was likely being his first concrete block structure. The original tenant was the United States Post Office until it moved to its new-er facility at 202 South Broadway in 1914. Colonel Nathaniel Cohen owned the property and, when the Post Office left, converted the building to a vaudeville theatre. The Rose Bowl Tavern has been providing music and entertainment here since 1947.

This property’s historical impact is identified as “contributing” to the Urbana Downtown Historic District.
