This was the Cleveland Amusement Hall. It was built in 1910 and owned by Ernest Edward Davis and Nancy Shoemaker Davis. The painting above the stage was very beautiful and was hand-painted by Mr. Engle. We had dances, vaudevilles, wedding receptions and when I was a very small girl we had welcome home parties for the boys coming home from World War I. The soldiers lined up by the stage and Wanda Snow and I (Elva Davis) pinned badges on each one. Later the stage was converted into a confectionary and pool hall and barber shop. On holidays we had ice cream to sell. The rest of the hall was still used for dancing, picture shows and election days. Some times it was used for conference for the L.D.S. Church. Later for rollerskating. It was very well built and you could hear a pin drop in it.
