The Rink Taunton, MA
This place was called, The Rink in Taunton, Massachusetts. However, many people mistaken this rink as Highland Heights Roller Rink which it was not the right place. Facebook said it wrong and Susan A Miller got it wrong too. Both got the wrong place!
How I know that, look carefully at the architecture. Look at the ceiling in the interior and compare that to Highland Heights Roller rink old building that was torn down in 2018. I wish anyone could have taken pictures of inside. But it was clear it was not the same place.
Anyone know more about this rink?
The Interior.
The lone postcard and has no other information about this rink, it did show that it was all Wood stud Truss built with wood walls and it was tall spacious interior. A lot of windows on each long side. It did have very steep Gable roof.
It appeared to be barn like interior. The Wood floor rink was narrow though.
