The Thom Mcan building was a popular shoe store chain during the early 20th century. This building also housed the legendary Upstage Club, on the second and third floors. It was founded by Tom and Margaret Potter in 1968. The club was the mecca for upcoming rocknroll stars like, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Vanzandt and Southside Johnny Lyon, to name a few. The club closed in 1971 but it became such an important venue for upcoming musicians, that it is featured in the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
