Interiors at Barks House of Music. Accordions of all makes and sizes sit on the counter. Stringed instruments hang from the peg board behind. There are ukeleles, banjos, mandolins and violins, to name a few. Cases rest above and below the instruments. Barks held an Open House at this new spacious location October 15-17, 1959. This was the store's third location, each expansion due to growth. The Barks had over 50 years experience in the music business. (TNT 10/15/1959, pg. A-6-7)
