It was erected in 1942.[1] It officially became Harry's Roller Rink in 1950 when Harry Dickerman purchased the space.[2][3] It remained under the Harry's moniker until 1968, when it was purchased by the owners of Moonlight Rollerway in Pasadena, Cliff and Mildred Neschke.[1][3] Dominic Cangelosi, organist for the original Moonlight Rollerway in Pasadena and later, organist at the Glendale branch, purchased the rink in 1985.[1][3]
