Scope and content
ca. 1934. Orchestra at the Oakes. View of musicians with grand piano and female singer ordered by Mr. White. The Oakes Pavilion had opened in the summer of 1923 and was available for ballroom dancing. By 1934, renovation was underway to turn the Pavilion into a nightspot called the Towers. In 1938, Norton Clapp converted it to the Lakewood Ice Arena. The Arena was demolished in 1982 to make room for lakefront condominiums. (T. Times) (WSHS)
