Marker dedication to honor onetime fixture in Glen Rock community

Every year, Jon Nicklow pages back through Glen Rock’s long story to find an anniversary to celebrate. And every year, that anniversary is remembered in bronze. A memorial to the borough’s Community Recreation Building rose to the top of the Glen Rock Historic Preservation Society’s list this year. The Baltimore Street building opened in 1926, though it did not live to celebrate its century birthday. The building, bad roof and all, was demolished in 2010. But memories remain — a host of them. It served as the Glen Rock High School gym, Borough Hall, police headquarters, the Glen Rock Carolers hall, site of countless community dinners and much more. “If you grew up in town,” Nicklow of the Historic Preservation Society said, “you definitely knew where it was.” At one point, the building was expanded to cover the family home of prominent residents Jim and Mark Kroh. Part of the Kroh residence later served as a kitchen for the community building. “Jim would say,” Nicklow recalled, “that he was born under the kitchen sink.” A Glen Rock building does not have to stand to gain a plaque. So the old building will receive its marker — a $3,000 investment in

Remembering Veterans in Franklin County

Before it was Veterans Day, it was Armistice Day—to honor the end of World War I on November 11, 1918–at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It carried a hope for a sustained peace as it paid tribute to the veterans of Gthe reat War, but World War I was not the war to end all wars. September 1, 1939, marked the beginning of World War II. Though Armistice Day was not forgotten, celebrations were somber remembrances. After World War II concluded in 1945 and the Korean War in 1953, President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation to expand Armistice Day to include all veterans and rename the celebration of November 11 to Veterans Day.
