DOVER - First basketball practice by Dover's basketball team was held at Memorial Hall last night as WPA workmen completed half of the project for remodeling of Memorial Hall, formerly Legion Hall. Pictured above is the new reserved seat section, constructed after the old wall was torn out and a new addition erected. The 2nd photo is the new press box and entrance pictured along with a section of the playing floor.
The new section will seat 345, while other space in the gymnasium will increase the total capacity to 1,330, Safety-Service Director Homer Keppler announced. Former seating capacity was little over 900, but 1,200 were frequently jammed into the gym. Under the new arrangement it is estimated that well over 1,500 can be crowded into the gym if necessary.
New shower rooms are also complete and this morning workmen resumed activity for the completion of the downstairs dining hall and entrances to the building. Painting of the gym will be started after Dover's opening game Friday night with Youngstown.
The project so far has cost WPA $16,803 for materials and $1,406.18 for personal service, while the city has spent $20,299.54, making a total of $36,598.54.
