Posted by: Editor on Wednesday, October 5, 2016

Who was I?

Submit Answers in Comments (below). Answers will not be revealed until a winner is selected.

I was a temporary location in the Laurel Park area back in the 1920s. Your editor has blocked out the sign above my door on the right side of this shot, only to throw you off. Without elaborating too much, your task is to submit what my name was until my permanent location was constructed. Who was I?
