The wings, constructed of used bricks, blended well with the bricks and design of the original structure. • I ~ I I , • ove With workmen · busily r.emoving the east and west wings of the old Johnsonville school building, t_ h e · main •~ . section begins to take on it's .i .. original salt box form of ar.. .. chitectural design. · . . These wings were added in 1939 to the main building which was constructed in 1914, as well as can be established. According to H.M. Floyd, former superintendent, the additions were a part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) project with the ,gyinnasium being constructed ~t the same time. Floyd recalled last week that the brickS and the Inaterial used for the framework of the wings came from the demolition of a Johnsonville tobacco warehouse which was dismantled fo~ this project. The wings were reportedly constructed at a total cost of $12,000, and of that amount the cost to the school district was mly $3,000. Prior to this time, the tobacco warehouse had been utilized for basketball games and other functions such as the ·annual Junior-Senior Banquet. The east wing, at the time of construction, housed the first and second grades. The west •• •• •• ' ! • • •. . • ' ' ' • wing included the Home Economics room and a high school classroom. ''At the time of this project,'' Floyd said, ''This was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to the school district, for this was the first time we had indoor plumbing.'' Before this tiµle the plumbing was limited to a sink with a cold water faucet in the upstairs Home Economics room and two water fountains in the main entry hall provided by an electric pump, such as is used in the country today . . Tentative plans for the old building is that it will be used for district offices and storage . Increased office space is needed since the County School Superintendent's Office has been abolished and the bookkeeping which was done in Florence will of necessity be done locally. • The Francis Marion College Department of Fine Arts will present Margaret Norwood and Benjamin Woods in recital Sunday, October 24 at 3 p.m. Located in Founders Hall.
