5.4.2.2 CFC Building Plan
Th e CFC club-house was a T -plan with a gable roof connecting to a hipped gable roof on the
south wing (figure 5). The T plan was a standard plan used for many halls. Figures 6-7 are sketch
plans of the CFC building rooms based on a non-invasive assessment of the building. It was
determined that the CFC building was not 80 feet long as noted In the newspaper, but 60 feet
(18.29 meters). Other contradictions in the newspaper room dimensions were also identified.
For exam ple the CFC lecture room was 20 feet wide and 34 feet long. (The length of the lecture
room was confirmed by evidence in the ceiling cavity which will be discussed later).
The fabric of the structure was examined with attention to the floor and celling space. The use
of non-Invasive methods constrained the investigation and limited the amount of information
that could be collected.
