Kerrville Recreation Building

This building at 1708/1712 Water Street, part of the Edson's Kerrcrafters complex, was built and financed by Louis A. Schreiner in 1946 as a bowling alley.  The owner of the business was Sully S. Woodland, the manager H. S. Roe.
The Kerrville Mountain Sun of August 29, 1946 reported that "Sully's Bowling Alley" would open Saturday, September 7. 
"The owner and manager of the center are optimistic as to the future of the sport in Kerrville, and promise a clean and up-to-date recreational center.  Bowling is for all ages, and no matter how much of a novice the player is, he enjoys participation in his very first game."
It didn't last long.  This 10-lane bowling center was replaced in March 1948 by Sully Woodland Motors, a Lincoln and Mercury auto dealership.
In April 1954 the building returned to an entertainment center when Doug Gleason opened a new roller skating rink here. The newspaper reported "Gleason said the rink would be named in a contest and the place hopes to provide clean wholesome entertainment for the entire family." I can find no record of the results of a contest. It is simply referred to as the Kerrville Skating Rink in news stories and advertising.   At least occasionally on Friday and Saturday nights it also served as a dance floor.
This was a short-lived business.  In September 1955 the maple flooring was pulled up and offered for sale.  The next month it was announced that the George Faber Co., a furniture upholstery company, was moving his business from San Antonio here.
The Junk Jungle was here for a few months in 1960.  It was then taken over by its current owner, Edson's Kerrcrafters.
