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. |
