Original WWII Quonset building before demolition

Excavation and preparation for building foundation showing two separate cave entrances into Spring Valley Caverns

Slab is poured     

A look from the other side

With the foundation and slab complete, work begins on the walls

Work begins on the second story of this 38 foot high building

Forming begins on the main floor

Now the 18" thick walls leading up from the second story can be constructed

All four walls are up, and roof construction is under way

Roof installed, windows and doorway being set in, and the arch pad is poured

Visible in this photo is the simulated limestone wall treatment.  This natural looking surface treatment was applied throughout the building interior

A view of the building from inside the cave.  Directly to John's left is a culvert pipe installed to gain access to a third cave entrance discovered during the construction of the building
