Billiard and pool room in Iron Mountain

The Club, Eugene J. DeGayner, Proprietor, 219 South Stephenson Avenue, Iron Mountain, ca. 1913: In late January, 1908, Eugene J. DeGayner opened a billiard and pool room in the Parent building at 219 South Stephenson Avenue, Iron Mountain. DeGayner would harbor “no disorderly characters” and would “conduct the place in a manner to meet the approval of the better class of citizens.” At the time DeGayner hoped to add a two-run regulation bowling alley in the basement. This photograph, probably taken in about 1913 when DeGayner’s establishment was known as The Club, shows the two-lane bowling alley to the right. The sign at the upper right reads as follows: Stepping or Sliding Over the Foul Line Is Absolutely Prohibited on the Alleys. The man standing behind the counter may be Frank Morett, and the two pool players are unidentified. [Eugene DeGayner Photo], Item also published with caption in: Dickinson County, Michigan : from earliest times through the Twenties / compiled and edited by William John Cummings. Iron Mountain, Mich. : Dickinson County Board of Commissioners, 1991. 432 p. : ill, maps, ports. ; 3
