Originally the Camp Swift Post Office, this building was purchased from the United States government, rebuilt by the citizens of Stonewall and dedicated as a gymnasium on May 1, 1949.
While continuing to serve the community, an international dimension was added to the history of the building when, on December 29, 1963, Chancellor Ludwig Erhard of West Germany and United States Secretary of State Dean Rusk attended a Texas-style barbecue here as guests of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, former Stonewall student.
