It would be impossible to tell in detail of the improvements made through the years, but we mention just a few landmarks which may be of historical interest.

It was in 1926 that the little cottage was built at the west side of the campgrounds which houses our chief electrician and his family during the winter months, and the ministry during the camp meeting. Also in 1926, a 250-foot-well was drilled; and its cool refreshing water is piped throughout the grounds. Since that time, the water supply has been augmented by the city's water system. In 1927, the massive stone spray-fountain was designed and centrally placed in the expansive park. Ever-changing colored lights illuminate the high spray of water until 10:30 each night.

In 1945, the chapel east of the tabernacle was built. It is a versatile building affording space for the beginners Sunday School classes which number around 200 pre-school children including the morning and afternoon classes. During camp meeting, the office force from the headquarters takes over the front part of the building which otherwise is used for a pre-school nursery. In the basement are large cloak rooms, a kitchen and lunch room.

In 1948, the Assembly Hall west of the tabernacle was erected. It, too, has numerous uses. Here the primary, the junior, and intermediate Sunday School classes meet with a total attendance of over 350. In this building youth meetings are held during camp meeting and also one night a week during the remainder of the year. It, too, has an auxiliary kitchen, adjacent to the main assembly room, and from it refreshments are served to visiting merchant seamen brought to the meetings. This Assembly Hall serves as a place of fellowship for various Gospel activities.

Improvements continue as the little city grows. There are now 13 fully-equipped community kitchenettes, with running water and refrigeration. Around the large cook stoves and long tables, new and close friendships are made and old acquaintances are renewed.
