First Segment: 

September and October 1983, "Moving In" from the U-haul storage unit around the corner. 

Clean up of Binghamton Boxing Club space, located next door to the HAMC (Hell's Angels Motor Club), preparing the new Herizon space at 213 State Street, greeting Herizon members at our first event in the new space: an "Afternoon Opening" brunch and mingle. All three windows are open and uncovered, bringing natural light into the space.  

Second Segment:  

September and October 1983, a "Pre-Party" in the new space with Herizon working members taking a break from clean up and construction to try out the soon-to-be-built DJ booth, not-yet-built bar, performance stage, and the dance floor, which was ready to roll from day one.

Third Segment:

October 1983, construction at 213 State Street, includes the old club sign behind the bar (from 77 State Street), and building exteriors.

November 1984 (one year later), documents the tear-down of the well-built performance stage following a legal dispute with the church property in the back (Herizon's fire exit opened onto the church parking lot.) The church would not allow the Herizon exit stair to touch their property, so the fire exit had to remain at ground level, requiring part of the stage to be de-constructed and removed.
