Carey's Circus Garden 3155 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, PA
This rink was called Carey's Circus Garden which was found on 3155 Frankford Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This roller rink building was designed and built for a roller rink. It has long since closed and it is now a Family Dollar, a D-store.
Not much information unfortunately. 1941-42 is only mentioned on a website showing the banner.
I am not sure if it was demolished or remained the same building because the Family Dollar building has that appearance that looked aged to me.
I do not have any photographs of the rink however.
