1914 This is the approximate year that this structure was rebuilt to be the Arcade Bar. During Prohibition a soda and candy shop operated for a handful of years here. In the early 1940’s the building was converted to the “Sportsman’s Club” and operated as a saloon and cafe until the building fell into disrepair in the late nineties. The current renovation includes the original mahogany bar refurbished by the Berkners in 2005.Erected by Plymouth Economic Development Historical Sign Project.
