New Brighton Roller-Drome 2012 3rd Ave, New Brighton, PA
New Brighton Roller-Drome 2012 3rd Avenue, New Brighton, Pennsylvania was once housed there in this arched building. When you want to look for it on the map and see on the road, it is the 1970s look apartment complex.
In 1943, Steven Gray Sr. opened the New Brighton Roller-Drome. as part of the Junction Stretch or Junction Park. To see about that part, see Junction Park.
