     The top picture above, is our Post Home which was reconstructed following Hurricane Camille in August of 1969. If you would like to see a picture of what was left of our Post Home after Hurricane Camille, see "The Story of Hurricane Camille and the American Legion"  on our website. The bottom picture above, is the remains of our Post Home after Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005.

     Our Post Home, now only an empty shell, was a two story building with large well lighted parking lots on the North & South sides, and parking on a drive to the east side of the building. On the first floor were our North and South entrances, kitchen, lounge, dining room, dance floor, entertainment stage, hallways, rest rooms, display cases, and business office. Going up either of the two stairways to the second floor, you would find offices, meeting rooms, hallways, restrooms, storage areas, and a rest an relaxation section with a sofa, chairs, TV, and a separate bathroom. On the West side of our main building, was our two story high Bingo Hall. The remains of our Bingo Hall can best be seen in the bottom picture. It was as wide but longer than our main building, and was used for General Membership Meetings, dinners, dances, and special activities and events all year long involving large numbers of people. It was also used for other purposes such as wedding receptions, blood drives, meetings with Local, State, and National dignitaries, and for other purposes too numerous to mention.
