Skating on Main 1391 Main St, Hamilton, OH. Taken in 2015. Sea-Foam wall replaced the natural Brick color. I love the brick. Sea-Foam is fine but no excitement here compared to the natural Bricks. In 2016, they replaced the newly painted walls for a reason. Source: Google.

There were FIVE names, perhaps alternative names or nicknames for this rink that was on 1391 Main Street in Hamilton, Ohio. They were in alphabetically order: Hamilton Roundup Roller Rink, Round Up Roller Rink, RoundUp,
RoundUp Roller Skate Rink, Skating on Main. The only major difference was Skating on Main. The first four was just a variations of names. Official name I believe was RoundUp Roller Skate Rink.
This rink had it start in 1970 but ended on 17 August 2017. Then it was demolished in February 2018 to make way for a new medical center. It was sold for 950,000 USD. I saw how they wanted the place to be when they closed for good. They wanted it to be leased but instead the building was sold and demolished for a new modern medical building. It is a doctors' offices.
RoundUp Roller Rink operated from 1970 until 2007 then it was sold to the new operator and renamed it Skate on Main.
The Interior.
Hamilton Roundup Roller Rink: I do not know what the original appearance was in 1970. Although the building was built in 1963. I do not even know what was it in 1963 till 1970 when RoundUp opened that year. For sure it was changed when it became Skating on Main.
Round Up Roller Rink: Same as above.
RoundUp: Same as above.
RoundUp Roller Skate Rink: Same as above.
Skating on Main: Quite clearly with new name, meaning new management in year 2007 which may have changed the interior. From only photo I ever could find, it showed Non-painted Polyurethane Coated Maple Straight Angled Fan floor. It has very warehouse-like interior with exposed Free-Span Steel Trusses on the walls and ceiling. Even Cinderblocks walls there. The walls and ceiling were White but Trusses are easily spot because of Red color.
It was very basic looking.
The Exterior.
Hamilton Roundup Roller Rink: Free-Span Steel Trusses Cinderblocks and Brick Veneer front - Walled Warehouse - like Building with Gabled roof. I am sure the frontage was White-Washed Red/Pink Brick Veneer. The side walls and rear were Cinderblocks. And those blocks were painted White. Exposed Trusses on the outside were Rust proofed Red (easy to hide rust).
Round Up Roller Rink: Same as above.
RoundUp: Same as above.
RoundUp Roller Skate Rink: Same as above.
Skating on Main: They changed a few times. Even ruining the beautiful brick veneer wall. First, they painted in Sea-Foam Green, then a year later, Sand color, then a year later, Off- White until they closed for good and sold. I do not know why they kept changing colors. Perhaps they thought people would like it but apparently they did not like them? No? I do not know why. And was the appearance kind of chased people away? I hear this saying that people like anything original and it was popular but when a new management, owner, operator, or developer, they usually change names, appearances, etc, then people would not go because it is like, "the new people ruined it". Still, the owners of Skating on Main attempted to function as new generation to please people. And their function of improving to up-to-date is correct to do.
