Rupert Bowling Court
Roy W. Adams acquired the land in 1907, with early photos showing frame structures including a "Photo Gallery." By 1921, a brick structure existed housing an office supply business and barber shop in front and an electric refrigeration and battery recharge business in back.
Around 1935, Bob Carlson introduced a bowling alley featuring duckpins — smaller pins (9.4 inches) requiring a 5-inch ball without finger holes, making it accessible for children. The venue became a very popular teen lunchtime hangout in the late 1940s and early 1950s with its lunch counter, fountain, and pinball machines.
Later uses included a Radio and Service Center (late 1950s–1960s), notably featuring an RCA Victor dog statue advertisement. By 1983, the three buildings merged into The Showkase Place, selling furniture and appliances.
