Corban's Temple Roller Skating Rink, 110 - 114 N. Fraley Street., Kane, PA
Corban's Temple Roller Skating Rink was a rebooted rink after it was sold to Lori and Ivan McClain including the 3 stories brick building on this main street in Kane, PA right by this national forest park. A small town had a rink that survived through the years.
The storefront was all brick and looked antique in early 20th Century with brick exterior and had three stores. The theater/opera house was originally housed when the building was built in 1925 however, it went out of business and the original skate rink was Shirley's Temple Rollerskating Rink (see Shirley's Temple Roller Skating Rink page for further details.)
But the original rink owner sold it to the McClains who reopened as Corban's 8 years after Shirley's closed in year 2000 after that run of 20 years in business.
However, Corban's did not last any longer than it was. It was closed for good in 2017. It did not say when it was closed but likely in 2017 when the building was up for sale according to this website-https://www.shoppok.com, an classified ad website.
The interior- the rink was quite small and strong decor. It had red carpet or paint on the wall with a very small wood floor for a rink. The ceiling was low and very few lights as the photo displayed. The redness of the walls made it very good complimentary color to the wood tan floor colors with white ceiling panels. Rinks with red walls (and rails if any) are very strong statement with the wood tan color floor. They usually compliment well but also it gives energy to skaters as red interprets as power besides romance/love. It did display very 1990s look though.
Rink Size: N/A (observation in photo appears to be 55 by 120 feet/ 6600 Square feet) but the building itself total has 27,00 SF.
Operations (as Corbian's): 2008-2017.
(Prior to Corbian's was Shirley's from 1980 to 2000.)
