Yes, this is the old fokes home. Did you see the dancing man..He was the talk of Tranquille for sometime. He lived in this building. The old fokes had to walk to the cafeteria, the dancing man with all his colors dance, sang and played a tune for all.. He had one of those hand organs ..He kick his feet in a forward fashion, like a Irish Rover. All the time, all the way to the cafeteria. He bought my lemon aid...

Wonderful! I had to look twice to make sure this was not a painting! It's hard to believe that in April, 1973, I played pool in this building. I wish the government had the foresight to have kept Tranquille and maintained the site properly. I feel it should be designated as a heritage site.
