Roseland Roller Rink and the other two.. America On Wheels as well as West End were at 144 Brighton Avenue, Long Branch, New Jersey. It was owned and operated by AOW Corporation (America on Wheels) for both rinks-- Roseland Roller Rink, and West End.
But it was managed by Andrew Morris and later, Danny Victor. (Rink is gone, but is listed as manager)
It had over 10,000 Square Feet because of the two floors only front part. But the rest were 1 story for about 200 feet according to the article about the fire.
It was burned down but read the next article above.
It did not give much history but the place was on purpose with permission to burn it down. It is cheaper to burn than to tear down. My advise: PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS ACTION DUE TO FIRE HAZARD. Some buildings have Asbestos that you cannot burn it. Second of all, buildings have some useful material for recycling. Also fires can spread to next door if it is uncontrollable. I sure hoped it was a controlled fire.
It was short lived roller rink with three names. Well, that is because people often called any rinks that was owned by AOW Corporation is called AOW or American On Wheels. Makes sense. The postcard showed both names, Roseland in the sign and the bottom says West End. I got my lists saying those rink names. Anyone can correct, please let me know.

Dead Rinks is now International Roller Skating Rinks History Foundation© because many former names have become new names at the same rinks that are still active and due to much confusion, We have decided that International Roller Skating Rinks History Foundation© fits better for all rinks including defunct, closed, inactive, rebooted, and rinks that are still active today. For short on this site, it is International Roller Skating Rinks History© Bear with us as we change the entire site page by page each day. Thank you for understanding.

Rinks that are closed are considered dead. Rinks that are/were sold and with new management names new name(s), the former are considered dead. Previous operating rink that closed but came back years later, are considered dead because the reopening is considered rebooted, nothing to do with the former. Since we are rebooted to allow alive rinks, active rinks, we welcome those active rinks as well. It will be described.
