Formerly home to “Tuffy” Leeman’s duckpin Bowling alley. Tuffy, a pro football hall of fame member, played for the New York Giants from 1936 to 1943. The duckpin alley closed several years back.
The Allen Theater burned in early December 2009. I was sent these photos of it today.
It opened in 1951 with 946 seats and was closed as a theater in 1990.
