I will tell you this, after it was closed, the kids did go there to play ball etc. then some vandals broke out all the windows and generally trashed the place. The floors were ruined for playing ball with all the rain. After that A couple of individuals bought the building and replaced the windows, fixed the plumbing and electrical wireing and ran a Faux Marble plant out of it for a couple of years. They made bathtubs, showers, sinks etc. It then burned and the building was gutted by the fire and the roof was damaged so badly that rain goes into the building. I will try to post a picture and story on www.49countynews.net soon if I can get more information.
