SOLUTION


It's where The Colonial Inn (later the American Legion Post) was once located in Uniontown
where Apollo Street is now:

As written by Bruce Heisler:

This was a very big old building. At one time it was a roadhouse - gambling hall with a
big 5-6 foot high iron fence around it. There was a real thick door leading to the third
floor where the real gambling took place. It was said that Al Capone used to come here.
I believe it was owned by a man by the name of Axlerod. It was sold to the American
Legion Post. When I was growing up, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Palmer ran it as the Colonial Inn
and later Mr.and Mrs. Ray Bourn and others ran it for the Legion. Lloyd Grable bought it
and eventually decided to burn it down and make housing on the land. Some of this land
became the Uniontown Community Park.
