The Harrison Building Scrapbook…featuring The Avalon Ballroom

Early on Saturday, February 14, 1998 a fire broke out in the Aggieville shopping area of Manhattan, Kansas which destroyed—in a matter of hours—83 years of Kansas history.  The huge building which had most recently housed Club Karrington and Adventure Travel was now only a hollow, smoking shell.  Somewhere deep in the rubble lay a huge stone with the inscription “19 – J.R. HARRISON – 15,” which had looked out on Moro Street to welcome K-Staters for over eight decades.  This book is the story in pictures of a gone, but not forgotten, landmark of Aggieville’s past. 48 pages.  Over 50 photos.  Center-stapled.

Available now at Able Printing Company in Aggieville.
