Sugar Camp / WAVES Cabin 22

John H. Patterson, while riding horseback on the windswept hill of his sugar maple grove overlooking his NCR factory, decided the grove would be a good place for a training camp for his salesmen. Originally located at The National Cash Register Company's Sugar Camp training facility, this cabin was one of 60 built as living quarters for cash register salesmen attending training sessions in Dayton. During World War II, the cabins housed 600 U.S. Navy WAVES, Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, who worked on a classified code breaking project at NCR. The cabin was built in 1934 near the corner of Far Hills and Schantz Avenues in Oakwood, Ohio.
