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.
