Roseland Ballroom in Boston

    Colorful historic postcard of Roseland Ballroom, a dazzling dance floor with a ceiling of multicolored oval shapes and Art Deco floor furnishings. Three floor-to-ceiling flared columns of steel and glass hold up the ceiling. The floor itself is designed in the form of numerous bluish-gray linear strips that cover the entire ballroom.

    Roseland Ballroom, Boston, where Malcolm Little worked for a short while in 1941, using this venue as a staging ground for various street hustles.

    Likely 1930s
