Publisher's Synopsis
The SunnyBrook Ballroom is a vivid and well-known landmark in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. It began as a swimming club in 1926, featuring a large circular swimming pool where the socialites spent their summer days basking in the sun.
Opening its doors in 1931, the grand ballroom was built as an addition to the swim club and dance pavilion. For years, Sunnybrook has served as a viable piece of Americana and has seen many big-name performers upon its stage, including Glenn Miller, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, Lawrence Welk, Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey, Chubby Checker, and even Bill Haley and the Comets. Using vintage photographs, this book traces the history of this cherished haven for big band fans, rock and rollers, and music lovers alike.
