The lodge, which is to be named in honor of Miss LaVene Grove of Harrisburg, is to be situated beside the old faculty lodge, toward the entrance of the camp. It is to be a two-story structure affording accom- modations for twenty people. One room with private bath will be reserved at all times for the use of Miss Grove. A similar room is planned as a guest room for dis- tinguished visitors. As one enters the front door from a wide: veranda, one will see a large living room with stone fireplace directly ahead, and a stairway on the left leading to the balcony above. Around the living room on three sides there is a hall from which one enters- the faculty rooms, and the toilet rooms which will include shower stalls. The plans also include a kitchenette. A balcony runs around the living room on the second floor level. Rooms open from this balcony on three sides. Toilet rooms will be placed on this Hoor also. A concrete cellar for storage of food- stuffs for the camp kitchen will be built under the lodge. Some type of heating sys- tem may then be installed. If this can be done, the Grove Faculty Lodge may be- used at any season of the year by small groups.
