The Hungarian Hall beofre it was St. Stephen's Parish Center.
Bingo was played every Friday. There were many wedding receptions with cars parked all over the place. No air conditioning, of course. They opened the doors to let the smoke and hot air out. You could hear singing for blocks!
This was a great place in its day!
Loved going there, the annual Harvest dance in October, New Years eve, and they even did stage shows starring people from the parish..
We (Hungarians) always called it the MAGYAR HAZ (Hungarian Home)

HUNGARIAN COMMUNITY HOME
The new structure recently erected and called the Magyar Home is used for many social affairs. It is located at Genesee and Hudson Streets. The Magyar Home represents the genuine desire for enjoyment of the best community life, and their wish to give their children every educational advantage. It encourages members to keep their homes clean and looking their best and as a result many Hungarians have a high standard of living. The building and the site are valued at $100,000 and were secured largely through the efforts of Adam Nagy and Julius Gyongyosy.
