Arcade Hall, Lockport

The building with the peaked roof next to Continental Hall, was Arcade Hall, another stone edifice. The Arcade was built in about 1850 and was different from the Continental as it was more of a multi-use building. The four-floor structure had a basement with a saloon and the 1st floor had offices for businesses and the U. S. Post Office. On the 2nd floor had rooms rented by professionals and businessmen. The top floor contained a large room with a stage for performances. For 20 years, the Arcade hosted shows that came to Lockport until the Hodge Opera House opened in 1871.
