During the prohibition era, Southport Lanes became a speakeasy and an illegal gambling parlor.
The building was remodeled in 2003 but kept its original look, including hand-set bowling lanes.
The Schlitz Brewery first constructed the building, named The Nook. The name changed to Southport Lanes in 1922.
The auction is July 13 - 20. For more information the auction website.
