It had a 1200 seat theater located on its first floor, which held musicals, theatrical, and minstrel shows. The three-story building also held billiards, a bowling alley, a skating rink, a lunch room, and a ballroom. The building even had two stores in it, one owned by John Dilks, who was an optician and druggist, and the “Bee Hive”, and an alteration shop for tailoring and ladies garments (GCHS 2019). There was also general recreational space used by organizations in the area. The building fulfilled the needs of almost every citizen of Glassboro and those around the county.
