"OLD ESSO CLUB"
OUTSIDE PHOTOS NEED
The photo below is of the open air movie theater at the Old Esso Club. At the start of World War II the Original Esso Club burned. This temporary club was built using metal buildings set in a square with the center left open to be used as a open air movie theater, the chairs were moved and table brought in for Bingo Games or the concrete floor was cleared and dances were held in the space. Within the buildings there was a Cocktail Lounge, Men's Bar, Soda Fountain, Snack Bar, liquor sales and a library. The glow from the movie at night could be seen from the sky but not from the sea thus the movies were shown during the black out which was enforced throughout World War II.
