People/Subject
Athletic Hall (Langley Prairie)
The Athletic Hall was built in 1924 at the Northwest corner of Telephone Road and Douglas Crescent, now the location of Douglas Park. Many community events were held there, including the Agricultural Fair, May Days, the Annual Pioneers Ball of the Pioneers Association and the Flower Show Dance. In 1933, a projection booth and new wiring was installed in the building for a theatre. The hall underwent renovations in 1946 costing $3,500. The fire marshal had given the association 30 days to tear the building down. For the re-opening, there were two dances and a two-day motorcycle meet.
The property was sold and demolished in 1955.
