History and architectural features
[edit | edit source]This historic structure is a T-shaped brick building consisting of a three-story administration building that was erected in 1937, with a 1+1⁄2-story drill hall that was built in 1928 and executed in the Colonial Revival style. It measures approximately ninety feet by two hundred feet.[2]
This building, which once played host to the Lancaster Red Roses, was firebombed in 1982.[3]
Used as a public venue under the name The Stahr Center, it was renovated in 2018 and now houses Decades, a boutique bowling alley and retro-arcade.
