Queens Rink Ballroom, Queens and Horace Harding Boulevards, Elmhurst, Queens, NY
Queens Roller Rink was also a ballroom according to the official name on the building that was taken picture of in 1966. The rink has been long gone but attempted to find it on Google Map is quite difficult. Found Queens Boulevard but not Horace Harding Boulevard. It appears to be now called, Horace Harding Expressway (or better known as Long Island Expressway). Apparently the rink was demolished to make room for the highway. Maybe. I pinpointed to where the highway intersection ramp. It is next to the modern shopping plaza.
Not much information regarding to the rink. Greatly needed information!
