The Industrial Building forms the south group. It is planned along
the line of modern factory construction, with concrete floors and
ample daylight. It is arranged for progressive woodworking, the raw
material being received at one point, passing through the machines to
the other end of the plant, then up to the second floor, and back to
the shipping-room adjoining the receiving-room. Dry kilns of the most
approved type and proper trackage for railway shipment are provided;
also a garage for trucks and a machine shop.
The power and heating plant is located on the center axis north of the
Industrial Building. The general laundry adjoins the heating plant.
On the second floor of this building the gymnasium is placed. This
building divides the open space into two courts for the recreation
of the two classes of prisoners. Each court is adequate, in size for
baseball and other games. The ground occupied rises considerably to
the north, whereby opportunity is offered to keep the recreation
courts fully 12 feet below the first floor level, and for a full
basement, which affords ample and well-lighted space for the Commissary
Department, tailor shop, shoe shop, and other shops and store-rooms of
all kinds.
