My Dad advises that the Gunstock Inn building once housed local pre-war "CCC" shovel-laborers, paid at $30 per month—$25 of which had to be sent home. The C.C.C. was FDR's attempt to reduce unemployment during The Great Depression. (CCC was the Civilian Conservation Corps—credited with planting 3 billion trees—and later dissolved after Pearl Harbor was bombed). The building was later bought by the late Chet Fernald of Melvin Village, and known as "The Barracks" (ph).
