Flameway Hall is built.
Flameway Hall was located across the road from the Electric Energy Company and was built in 1956. It was sponsored by a natural gas company as a demonstration center which utilized natural gas appliances. The building has a center section with a gabled roof with eave facing the street and two side wings which stem from the rear of the center section. Flameway Hall has a domestic architectural style and coordinates with the other classroom and meeting structures nearby. The exterior finish is brown wooden clapboard siding and the front entrance has a gabled porch supported by slender square wooden columns. Because of its location under the water tower, Flameway Hall was originally known as the Tower Building. Currently, it is sponsored by a natural gas company as a demonstration center.
This water tower was fed by water pumped from the on-site water sanitation system which was fed by a natural spring-fed pond elsewhere on the property. The water tower itself is gone, as is Flameway Hall, which was lost when a tree fell through the middle of the building during a large storm in 2012. Fortunately, no one was injured. For a time, this space has remained empty. On March 28, 2019 the groundbreaking for a new facility took place, this building would become the Annette S. Boggs Educational Center.
The livestock barn burns.
The original livestock barn complex was completed early in the camp’s history. It is located right beside Council Circle. In 1956 a large fire destroyed a large portion of the building and a new building was planned.
