"Million Dollar Biffy"

A massive sandstone and log latrine at Guernsey State Park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s. The structure is 21 feet wide and 42 feet long, though it looks larger because of the masses of rock at the corners. Workmen jokingly called it the “Million Dollar Biffy” because the project took so long to finish. Stone for this and other park structures was quarried locally, and each stone was carefully fitted, contributing to the structure’s excellent condition today. Roland Pray, camp architect, drew most of the plans for structures at Guernsey State Park, and while some structures varied slightly from the blueprints, others followed them exactly.
