FZ: Yeh, facing the street, that's where the door was, I remember it
was a gable shingled roof, it wasn't too big, I'd say about 14 x 18 or
pretty close.

AV: Just one story, right?

FZ: Yes, just one story.

AV: Do you remember anything about how the windows were or placed in it?

FZ: Just like the rest of the town I'd say, sash windows.

AV: Two in the front with the door?

FZ: Windows? oh the door in front that's all, I would say 2 windows on each
side but at the back I don't know, oh they wouldn't have any in the
back anyway.

AV: What did you say that they used that building for?
(Helen A[???] shoemaker shop tape 27-2)

FZ: They called it a band house. ?

AV: But you don't remember it being used for band practice?

FZ: No I don't, even they other one they called a band house I don't remember.

AV: This one here did they ever use it for anything else in your time?

FZ: Yes, I think later on the coal company used it for storage, windows and such as
that, you know, lumber.

AV: Did you ever hear from any old timers what it could be used for?

FZ: Band house, that's all I ever heard.

AV: When was it torn down about, do you know?

FZ: No I don't.

AV: Was it painted red?

FZ: Yeh, red and black trim, why did they paint this one down here red with
white trimming, white doors?

AV: This band house you said it was in the yard in back of Bruno Bauskonoski's[?]?

FZ: Maybe you better ask about it, but that was just an ordinary square
building it wasn't too big either.

AV: How big would you say?

FZ: Well I know they lived in it one time because the surface and
they figured it wasn't safe to live in, to stay in the house so they
moved t up to this band house.
