Kind of obscure from the outside but inside,a bowling alley,meeting rooms a couple bars and a fantastic kitchen. The attic had basketball goals. I have been a knight for a long time and in Council halls all over but never one as grand as this.
I set pins at KOC(1961). Still remember the pin master, Mike Merran. He always dressed in a suit and smoked a big cigar. I set two allies at a time and was paid seven cents per bowler per game. On a good night I could make $3.00.

ReplyDeleteCharles, Most people nowadays would refer to the K of C as across from the JUNIOR High.

ReplyDeleteUsed to be some good teen dances there in late 50's, early 60's.
ReplyDeleteGreat pizza at Manna's a few doors down North Street.
The pin masters last name was Murrin. He could be crotchety at times but the pin boys would hop to it when he barked.
ReplyDeleteI remember my Dad taking me bowling there - duck pins! Great memories from attending many wedding receptions.
