Later, a bathroom facility was built on the back of the building for the summer camp staff and the kitchen was converted to a Trading Post and the dining hall section was enclosed and became the Quartermaster.  The summer camp staff stayed in tents behind the facility. 

Note the single light bulb. 

The camp always had problems with Scouts, at night, throwing rocks at other campsites and pulling up tent stakes.  It seems that was more common in those days than it is today.  Well, maybe not.

The dining hall still exists and is now part of the clubhouse for the Tennis Club.

You can see one of the fireplaces at the end of the room.

The only thing in the First Aid Lodge, besides a couple of beds and a table and chair, was lots and lots of scorpions.  At night one could shine their flashlight up to the rafters and see them crawling everywhere.  Rock buildings were noted for housing the critters.

This campsite was located just above the swimming pool and overlooked Bull Creek.  The shelters were made of wood and had screening.  This made them a favorite place to camp and be protected from the rain, as long was it was not blowing, and mosquitos.  Over the years, the rain washed the dirt away around the concrete floors and one would have to be careful stepping off them.  Note the neat rock work on the trails.  Campsites inspections were based in part on how you improved your campsite.  Rock was plentiful so making neat trails out of them was a popular way to earn points.

This campsite was located on the other side of the open field from the one above.  It was made of rock and had the same features as the Sam Houston Campsite.  There was also a Scoutmaster's cabin behind the shelters.  Later, this cabin was used by the senior staff.  Their beds were lined up along one side of the room.  One night, the staff filed in very quietly and threw buckets of water all over the Program Director, whom the did not like.  Needless to say, it was a very tense morning at the "A" Building.

This was another popular campsite, although it was a tent campsite but had wooden platforms.  It was off the beaten path and had lots of shade.  You can see the style of tents provided the troops at this time.

All the campsite were named after famous men of the War for Independence of Texas.  Two others that come to mind were Bowie and Travis campsites.

Later, when Richard "Dick" Givens became Camp Ranger the house was given a work over.  The original electrical consisted of one circuit that ran through all the rooms, each room having a single light bulb hanging from the ceiling with a pull chain to turn it off and on. The new wiring added electrical plugs in each room and separate circuits in the kitchen.  New kitchen cabinet and counters were also added.

One interesting find while rewiring the house was that the wall studs were turned sideways and there was no insulation in the walls.
