The initial construction efforts included a lodge for dining and four cabins the first year that summer camp was held. In 1962, the chapel was constructed and in 1... | 1 |

518 KB | Pwenner | The tunnel under the Meadows Building is a source of interesting speculation. Could it have housed a gambling room or prohibition era speakeasy? The tunnel led from this building to the one next door. Could it have provided as escape route up onto W. Potomac if it were one or the other? It's also possible the reason for its existence was innocent. Gene Fauble I remember that area. Fritz Powers used it for storage for the bar and restaurant back in the early 80s.
