The Tear down

We finally got to work and started tearing stuff down. When the airforce base closed in Hondo, TX in the 1940s, the wood from the barracks was donated to the American Legion to build the hall in Camp Wood. So the original boards in and outside the building are over 100 years old! We are tearing out the groovy paneling to get to the original wood. They poured the concrete in front of the building before there were stock laws and evidently cows wandered across the wet cement. Their hoof prints are visible in front of the building! After hosting many American legion meetings, dances, and banquets, it served its last call of duty as a bingo hall.
