At the back of the amphitheater in Fairbanks Park is the Chancey Rose Memorial. It was created from the Terre Haute post and federal office building. This building was built in 1885 and the front was removed in 1932. It was not until 1936 that memorial found its home at Fairbanks Park when the WPA built the support structure. When the post and federal office building was demolished at least part of the building was saved. Not only was it saved, but it was used to honor a great man of Terre Haute and is still standing today.
