Legionaires raised funds for P the project and opened the .Jiall to be used as a com ? munity building. ! The September 18. 1941 ; issue of THE DUPLIN ? TIMES carried an article on the upcoming construction of I the American Legion Com ? munity Building in Warsaw. The building plans had been J, drawn by a Legionaire from " Kinston, Architect Liston L. a Mallard. The building was v drawn to include a hall, Conference room, kitchen ? and restroom within 2,000 M-square feet of space. The JJ completed structure was to - cost $4,000. At the time of I the publication, only $1,000 J had been collected to con struct the Legion building. ! Plans for the construction J were being made by a build t ing committee from the I Charles R. Gavin Post No. J 127 in Warsaw. At the con ? elusion of the project, the ? Legion Community Building J was to be owned and ^ operated by Post No. 127 members. The building com , mittee was made up of: Jno. * R. Croom, Ralph J. Jones. F.J. Thomas, Henry L. a Stevens. E.D. Pollock. Ed F. Jj Strickland and E. Walker P Stevens. a The Legion building was ?constructed on Railroad ?Street in Warsaw on the a corner of Hill Street. But. J today, the lot where the Legion building was origi a nally built is empty and used J as a town parking lot. The " Legion building has been a moved outside the Warsaw 5 city limits on South Railroad P Street.
