Bobby's Rollaway 1593 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI. The interior seen in likely 1950s. Notice the stadium/movie theater fold-seat seating style. A rarity at rinks. Hard to tell because the photo is not that clear. What more interesting is the Butterfly ceiling shown in the postcard. It is quite different than the Gable roof platform seen in old black-and-white photo on top. It was not like you would see at say, the Syracuse Hancock International Airport main terminal that has Butterfly roof AND ceiling. Both the rink and the airport has Googie-style architecture.
