Chris Nichols: Bowlarama
The Architecture of Mid-Century Bowling
In this presentation, record as part of the Society for Commercial Archeology’s ongoing monthly Zoom series, architectural historian Chris Nichols discusses his book, Bowlarama: The Architecture of Mid-Century Bowling (2025), which he and co-author Adriene Biondo wrote after 10 years of archival research. The book takes aim at the obsession that swept the post-war nation: bowling! More than just a sport or a hobby, bowling became the ultimate modern lifestyle for Americans savoring the boom years that followed World War II.
