The smaller building is the old post exchange, where soldiers could purchase small items and snacks to make army life a little easier; and there was once a small, three-lane bowling alley in the basement for recreation. It was later used as a non-commissioned officers club.

Notice that this building is currently undeveloped. Context Design, a landscape architecture firm, owns the building and is working on a plan for its repurposing and conversion.

“Maude” building not redeveloped—it is likely to be converted to Merici Village’s 2nd building, but they are waiting to hear about tax credits.
