The Civic Auditorium opened on Jan. 21, 1933. It was demolished in 1974, 10 years after what is now the Blaisdell Center was built. During its time it was home to the Show of Stars, the Hawaii Chiefs professional basketball team, roller derby and professional wrestling. The Civic was replaced by the American Security Bank Building, now the Interstate Building on South King Street. (Star-Bulletin)
