Char's Beauty Salon

(Chester Bowl)

Built in the early 1900’s this building was originally a dance hall, owned by Jack Wardlow. In 1926 Leo Speegle bought it and in 1933 it became the Eastside Cafe. In 1945 it became a recreation center, known as the Chester Bowl. Around 1988 Char Armachea bought the building and it’s now home of her beauty shop, union offices and other businesses.

Marker is on Main Street (State Highway 36) east of 1st Avenue, on the right when traveling east.
