Lee Cunningham purchased an outfit from storage in Greybull and put up the alley in Powell in the north half of the Pratt-Mann building.
The Pratt-Mann building (built in 1909) was purchased by the Yale Oil Company Aug 15, 1932, forcing Cunningham to move the alleys to the Strauch Jewelry building in September 1932 as Powell Bowling Alleys. A Yale Oil Co. Litening gas station was in place at this address after the purchase. |
