The 1895 Prehm-Gill building was originally a merchantile store. It became the home of Bucks Recreation pool hall since the 1940s. When these photos were snapped the signage indicated it was home to the Heartland Boxing Gym.

Plenty of boarded up windows on the side and front of the building.

The advertisement nearest the street is for Pepsi and the more faded one further back is for Mountain Dew.


The second ghost sign is for Mountain Dew.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
