I think the “Columbia Hall” in the NY Times article was a different one from the one at Union St. & Fifth Ave. in Park Slope. The “Columbia Hall” with the connection to the cycling groups was over at 1239-41-43 Fulton St. The “Columbia Hall” in Park Slope housed a bowling alley and was a center for bowling enthusiasts.
The online Brooklyn Eagle at the BPL reveals at least six different “Columbia Halls” in the latter half of the 19th c… very confusing!
