The foundation is divided into two rooms, a west room which is 23 feet 11 inches north to south by 9 feet 10 inches east to west. This room is 5 feet 8 inches deep to fill. The east room is larger being 32 feet 6 inches east to west by 23 feet 11 inches north to south. This room is filled nearly to grade with earth. The east room has a short wing extending eastward from the east wall. This wing is 6 feet 10 inches east to west by 15 feet 1 inch north to south. Along the west end of the foundation is a concrete pad 9 feet 10 inches long north to south by 3 feet 3 inches wide. To the east of the foundation is a feature consisting of a row of cinder blocks 22 feet 3 inches long from west to east. The cinder blocks extend eastward from the northeast corner of the foundation. Paralleling the cinder blocks 6 feet 3 inches to the north is a line of uncut dry laid sandstone blocks also 22 feet 3 inches long. At the east end of these rows of cinder blocks and slabs is a wood platform and partially collapsed wooden steps. This wooden platform and steps are 11 feet 8 inches long north to south by 3 feet 11 inches wide. The cement foundation is in poor condition due to damage suffered when the structure was removed.
