New Building
Open to Public
For Inspection
LANCASTER The new Lan
caster Poultry Center, 340 West
Roseville Rd, will hold open
house tomorrow The new build
ing, now used by the Poultry Ex
change for their weekly auctions,
has been completed for several
months
Ground for the new building
was broken May 25 after some
conflict with the city of Lancaster
about whether or not the new
building would conflict with thu
now seemingly defunct Commun
ity Center.
The Lancaster County Poultry
Assn, owners and builders of the
building, assured the City of Lan
ancaster that the building would
augment and supplement the
functions of the center.
Originally planned to cost about
$30,000, construction costs proved
to be higher than planned, and
certain additions and improve
ments were made to the brick and
block structure that raised the
final cost to about $60,000.
There was $14,000 in the asso
ciation treasury when the ground
was broken Since that time, $15,-
000 has been added fiom a $lOO
a plate dinner, $3,500 from a $25
a plate dinner, and many dollars
have been contributed.
Although the building is not
completely paid for now, the mor
tgage is low enough that a long
term payment plan has been es
tablished that will allow retire
ment of the debt in a few yeais
Excavating was completed June
26; the steelwork was started
Sept 14 and the building was oc
cupied early this year.
The building is completely fire
proof with concrete floors and
metal fixtures Of two story con
struction now (full basement and
ground floor) the architects plans
call for extensions both up and
out as the need arises.
The ground floor consists of a
large room with a platform on
the east end that is now used as
the auction and meeting room, a
small anteroom on the west side,
and offices and restrooms at the
front or south side
In the basement there are two
rooms that can be used for meet
ings or storage Plans are for
cooking facilities to be installed
m one room, thus allowing small
dinner meetings to be held
The Center is available now for
meetings by farm groups A nomi
nal fee is made for the use of the
building for all but youth groups
This spring the grounds were
completely landscaped. Lying on
the north side of Highway 230
(the Harrisburg Pike) the lawns
are spacious and gently sloping.
Young shade trees have been,
planted completely around the
