A Building with a Past

This building served many roles over time. Civilian Conservation Corps workers said it was built during the Great Depression as a mess hall or barracks for Camp F-1, and because it was designed to be disassembled, it was likely moved here from another location. By 1944, it was in place and had been adapted into a recreation center. Square dance traditions at Oconee began here about thirty years before they were held in the Barn starting in 1975. In the 1980s, the restaurant and office moved here from the bathhouse, and today the building houses meeting facilities and park administration.
