The above two pictures were taken
at 55 feet up in the air during one of
my work trips using my bucket truck
on October 6, 2004, 6:30pm.
The Auditorium is the only part of Main Building that has
not been renovated since we graduated.
Did you know that the original auditorium was located above
the current location?
According to the pictures that used to be in the main lobby and as explained
by Jimmy Autrey, the
middle wing of Main Building was originally 3 floors
high; a basement with dirt floors on the lower
level, the original Kitchen
and Dinning Room was located on the 2nd level and then the Auditorium on
the
third level.
The framing of the 3rd Auditorium level
became twisted or warped during the early years and was
deemed unsafe for
use. The basement level was converted to the present day kitchen/dinning
room
area and the second level was converted to the Auditorium. The third
level was demolished and a flat
roof was installed on the top of the
structure.
