Fred Cameron opened his billiard and bowling hall on August 7, 1907, previously occupied by the Johnson Garage.
A (likely Brunswick-Balke-Collender) Denver expert installs a second bowling alley and it was opened November 13, 1907. Fred Cameron removes a bowling alley on March 20, 1908 to make room for more pool and billiard tables, leaving one alley in use. In early December 1908, the O. K. Theatre and the Cameron pool hall switch places, spelling the demise of the bowling alley. The O. K. Theatre officially opened on December 12, 1908. |
