Anyone who came after 1970 will be disoriented by this photo, which was taken in 1965 or '66. You are looking at (on the left) what is now Hayden Lodge--what was then "the Crafts Shop," or "Forstmann's garage." Even as the home for Arts & Crafts, it looked and felt absolutely like a garage. Two large garage doors and two bays inside. I have a vague recollection that for at least one summer in the mid-60s, it was actually used as part of check-in. I believe the nurses (wearing whites - and caps!) were stationed in their to give us a check-in-day check-up--among the big bins of loose tiles and wooden parts for birdhouses and spools of colorful lanyard.Off to the right you see one small building and part of another. The little one is the Flyfishing Shack - in Forstmann's time, the paymaster's hut. And then the back edge of Smith Lodge, the "Infirmary," later "the Heath Center." Recent FV'ers will even have a little visual trouble with this, because since 1975 the dialysis center has been a wing of Smith Lodge coming well off the back. Today this view of the little shack would be obscured by that back wing of Smith.
Between the Crafts Shop and Infirmary (look behind the white car) you can barely see the deer fence that fenced off the apple orchard that in those days served as our Archery Range. It is now still an orchard but is also the location of our greenhouse and gardens.
The vantage-point of the photographer (me) is the front of the Rec Hall (now Margetts Lodge).
