160 – Round Barn on Salem School Road, Dunlap.
May 7th, 2007
Commenter ilstateredbird says this: “It is the old Palisades ballroom. Big Bands would play there many years ago. It is located on Salem School Road in Dunlap.
It was later turned into a horse show ring. It has been undergoing renovation for the last few years. It appears to be on the mend when I was by it last Saturday.”
I have also been told that there was some connection with organized crime at this place. I have no idea if it’s true or not, but it does seem strange to have a ballroom, if that’s truly what it was, literally in the middle of no-where.
If you’re heading to Dunlap, the turn off to this barn is at the bottom of the hill, just before entering town via Route 91.
And to think, I just thought it was a cool looking round barn.
Here’s the view from the sky:
