Gallery 201

This building was the IOCC cafeteria and was built 1962 at a cost of $1,000,000. At its peak, it served over 2,000 people for each meal. In the early 1970s a full-course, hot meal (i.e. turkey and all the trimmings) cost the employee less then a dollar. The cafeteria also prepared boxed lunches for IOCC employees living in the bunkhouses. These lunches consisted of four sandwiches, a dessert, some type of fruit and two carbonated beverages and cost sixty cents. | |
The upper photo shows the cafeteria (right side) and the bunk houses that surrounded it (left). The bunk houses provided living space for bachelors and for married men awaiting housing. In the early 1980s, IOCC closed the cafeteria and bunkhouses. The cafeteria was sold to a private entrepreneur and now goes by the name of Gallery 201. It currently houses several retail stores, a pharmacy, two medical clinics, beauty parlor, tavern, restaurant and bakery. The bunkhouses were torn down and over the ensuing years several businesses built new buildings where the bunkhouses once stood. Only one of the original bunkhouse units remain and currently houses CRRS-TV (Community Recreation Re-broadcasting Services Association). |
