Take a peek
The aluminum cover around the old Bening Square building is being removed by the crew at Morgan Construction..... Expected to hake 10 weeks, the building will be painted, and have a new awning installed. . . . Restoring the old lady to some of her former glory.
Legend has it that former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt stayed there, when dedicating Devil's Kitchen Lake.
