What do Super Mario, March Madness, and the National Guard have in common? They’re all part of the history of the Stahr Armory, which is now home to Decades Lancaster, the host for this spring’s History Happy Hour!
Join LancasterHistory for specialty drinks and light bites while we explore the history of a building that has been home to Lancaster’s military reserves, the Lancaster Red Roses basketball team, and the area’s best vintage arcade!
March’s History Happy Hour is diving deep into the history of the building now occupied by vintage arcade, bowling alley, and restaurant Decades. The building at 438 N. Queen Street opened in 1916 and was named the Stahr Armory in 1956 after Lancaster doctor and Brigadier General of the Medical Corp of the Pennsylvania National Guard Dr. Charles P. Stahr. For over 100 years, the armory has taken turns serving as home to the Pennsylvania National Guard, the Lancaster Red Roses of the Continental Basketball Association, and as a community space for food bazaars and performances. Today, the armory is a stunning application of adaptive reuse. Decades has transformed a previously closed, historic facility into a popular destination that entertains locals and visitors alike. The main presentation of March 10’s History Happy Hour will feature three speakers discussing the building’s role in Lancaster’s military, sports, and media history.
