The Willowbrook Ballroom was a dance ballroom and banquet facility located in Willow Springs, Illinois, along Archer Avenue. It was founded in 1921 by John Verderbar and named Oh Henry Park.
The Willowbrook Ballroom is often cited as the last place Resurrection Mary danced before her death. Her ghost is said to appear at the ballroom at times, dancing with the patrons.[1]
On Friday, October 28, 2016, the Ballroom was gutted by a fire. The building was having work done on the roof where the fire was suspected of starting. Due to water pressure issues the fire department had to wait on tanker trucks, which caused a delay in getting the fire under control.[2]
