PEORIA, ILLINOIS - Robertson Fieldhouse



Curteich chrome postcard of Robertson Memorial Fieldhouse on the Bradley University campus in Peoria, Illinois. Card is postmarked at Peoria and dated July 31, 1964. This postcard was published by Curteich Co. of Chicago, IL., and distributed locally by Hartman Bros. of Peoria. Robertson Fieldhouse was built inside two World War II airplane hangars in 1949 and was the home to Bradley's mens' basketball team, the Bradley Braves, until 1982. The Fieldhouse was demolished in 2008 to make way for a new student recreation and health center.
