Dimensional drawings in .gif format and in .pdf format

Some rough dimensions

• The main room: 39 feet long by 23 feet wide.

• The stage: 13 feet wide by ten feet deep (wider and deeper in some spots). Stage ceiling is 8 feet 3 inches high, with three track lighting fixtures hanging down. There are three Barcroft Players flats under a black cover in the back, but we try not to use the stage as storage since it discourages use as a stage.

• The hallway: 3 feet 7 inches wide, 12 feet nine inches long

• The bathroom: 5 feet by 8 feet

• The kitchen: 11 feet by 12 feet, with a 6 foot section leading to the hallway. Stove, refrigerator, sink, cabinets and counters. Tape dispenser with the only tape permitted to be used on our walls. (Scotch Magic Tape). Our old microwave died and we removed the telephone in 2008.

• Basement: two small rooms, both packed with chairs, maintenance stuff and big toys from the playgroup.

• Interior bracing bars in main room: 14 feet and 27 feet back from stage, ten feet eight inches above the floor and 1 inch in diameter. They will hold 160 pounds without bending much. They were used to true the building up when it was blown off center during construction in 1908. We have never adjusted them, and have no idea how important they are to the building's stability.

• Electrical circuits: one on each side in main room with plugs down the wall, one on each side at the stage end. All are 20 amp service. There is a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the track lights on the stage. Here are the plug locations: in .gif format or .pdf format.

• Furnace filters in the attic are 16x25x1. The furnace/AC is a Carrier, two unit, Model No. CK5AXA048000AAAA. Takes a special two stage thermostat.

• Chairs: there are about 85 comfortable but very heavy ones stored in the back of the main hall. There are more of the old metal ones in the basement, but they are not in good shape.

• Tables: Four (?) of the long particle board tables, two of the four foot particle board tables, eight of the newer and lighter plastic tables. One card table, one riser. Most are stored under the stage in a space with a door under the front of the stage on the right side. The riser is currently in the basement.

• Stage stairs: three steps, kept on the stage when not in use. Heavy. Handrail on one side.

• Ladders: there is a step latter behind the kitchen door, and a very tall step ladder out back in the trash can area. The tall one needs to be cleaned before bringing it into the hall.

• Handicapped access ramp: see this page. There are two parking spaces at the bottom of the ramp that are not officially designated as handicapped spaces because they are used to load and unload equipment and supplies before and after events. They should be kept open during events for use by anyone who needs to use the ramp. There are orange H signs in the basement to mark the parking spaces for handicapped use for events.

• Outdoor lights: there are three outdoor lights. All are photocell operated, and all are compact florescents with low wattage bulbs. All of them came from Home Depot or Lowes. The side one is a "13 Watt Wall Light" from Lights of America, model 9000, with a two pin PL replacement bulb marked 9000B. That bulb is a 2700K soft white, a good shade of white for us. The rear light is a "27 Watt Flood Light" from Lights of America, model 9027, replacement bulb 9024B. The bulb is super white at 6500K, but a better replacment would be in the 2700K range to give a less glaring light more in keeping with our historic building.
