Here are some pictures for the website from getting the final floor structure out of the Museum on Saturday. Some of those beams were so big, it took 6 guys to carry them out. Imagine what it took to put that building up.

Here are pictures of the work we did on Saturday to take out the floor in the Vestibule. The top boards were tongue and groove narrow maple boards.   

We found a few boards with the carpenter’s name on them. Myron Adams was a machinist and owned the Adams Hotel ( on the site of the tennis Courts at the Crete Park. His machine shop was in the basement of the “Old Hotel”.  The hotel was torn down in about 1967.

Meet Mr Adams in the slideshow.
