Prohibition-Era Bowling Alley Unearthed in Queens

By Queuebot in Architecture on Dec 2, 2009 at 10:43 am

The new owner of a former garment factory building recently unearthed a pair of manually-operated bowling lanes in his basement. The lanes are in very good condition, considering it’s been many years since they’ve seen action. After research into the property, the owner believes the basement was a secret club during Prohibition!

Brings back memory of setting pins in alleys like that when I was a young lad ! Anyone else remember having to grab the sides and jump up because some jackass decided to throw the ball down while you were still in the pit ??
