There has been no info that shows he was involved. I even read his autobiography and found no mention of this place. I recently received this postcard image of the Kona from the author of "Stockton in Vintage Postcards", Alice van Ommeren. Thanks for sharing Alice! I really like this post card and I love the ornamental fascia on either end of the building. It kind of looks like green translucent plastic or glass was used. Very cool MCM style I think. Its a shame all those outriggers were cut off. I guess Badminton and shuffle board were a big past time back then!
