Jack Tritt's Corner Roller Rink 1301 North Main Street, Urbano, OH was not just a roller rink but it was a dance hall, one story motel with 16 cabins, trailer parking, and a gas station. A very unusual mix for this place. One thing though, not to forget-- Solid Rock Roller Rink and Urbana Skating Rink were at 142 Dellinger Road, Urbana, Ohio. Yes, you saw that correct. The address is different because likely they were re-addressed or something but the church, Life Net Fellowship said they bought the rink in 2009 at that address.
Clearly it was built likely in late 1910s because of the automobiles that hotels and roadside motels everywhere in America was needed including this one. There is a photograph that dated 1922. So, likely it began around 1900s or 1910s.
Closing date is unknown.
Upon my investigation and researching. The postcards and photographs you see above and throughout the internet did not show any buildings of the roller rink. However, thanks to USGS photographs, it appeared to be the big building BEHIND the photographers when they took pictures of the Jack Tritt's Corner. This photographs and postcards you saw were only taken to show the gas station, and the motel.
One thing though, would Solid Rock Roller Rink be also at this location? Oddly, the address is practically NEXT door to the Jack Tritt's Corner Roller Rink. One thing though. Solid Rock Roller Rink's address was 142 Dellinger Rd., Urbana, Ohio. that is next door! Or rather behind the old Jack Tritt's Corner Roller Rink and Hotel.
There are no information regarding to Solid Rock Roller Rink so it is placed here until any new information rises and could split this profile if it is entirely different company, different location, whatsoever.
Yes, Google says it is where the Life Net Fellowship today is. That building has that Aluminum Walled Warehouse like because of the sides as you can see on the map on a different street because Google Mapper did not drive on Dellinger Road. Only drove by on North Main Street. You can see the building at 1300 North Main Street, the same site where the former Jack Tritt's Corner Roller Rink is located.
You know what is interesting before this present church is housed? Solid Rock Roller Rink sounds like a Christian roller rink because Solid Rock is a reference to Jesus Christ in Christian perspective as said in the Holy Bible,

He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

And...
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength,
in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower . . .
For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God? . . .
The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted."
--Psalms 18:2, 31, 46, KJV
Was this rink a Christian church before the current church operating? Good question. Then there wsa Urbana Skating Rink according to the church's Facebook page. Was it also named that too?
