"The Lyonhurst Ballroom burned in 1963. It was built in 1922 by Joseph A. Lyons
in memory of his wife and daughter, Marion.
The famous building hosted many exciting events, from the appearance of big bands
to great balls and weddings, and in its later years, a roller skating rink.
A three alarm fire destroyed the building on March 7, 1963."
