Camp Sherman Community Hall - Structure

Structure

The Camp Sherman Community Hall is located in the small unincorporated community of Camp Sherman, Oregon. The hall was constructed by local volunteers under the direction of Wayne Korish. It is a simple rustic design. The building is a wood post-and-beam structure with a shingled exterior. The foundation is concrete. The roof is metal and asphalt.

The interior of the community hall has a large meeting area downstairs along with kitchen and bathroom facilities. The structural beams are hand-hewn and are exposed on the interior giving the main hall a rustic feel. The interior walls are covered with knotty pine paneling, and the floor boards are straight-grain fir. There is a large stone fireplace located on the north side of the main hall. The upstairs is an attic storage area.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    ... the structure of a page of good prose is, analyzed logically, not something frozen but the vibrating of a bridge, which changes with every step one takes on it.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    A structure becomes architectural, and not sculptural, when its elements no longer have their justification in nature.
    Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)

    The question is still asked of women: “How do you propose to answer the need for child care?” That is an obvious attempt to structure conflict in the old terms. The questions are rather: “If we as a human community want children, how does the total society propose to provide for them?”
    Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
