The Commissary

This building is all that is left of Camp Floyd. It was originally built on the other side of the creek, but David Deardshall's father bought it from the army and pulled it over the creek to use as a house for his family. David Beardshall, who was 94 in 1978, said that "the building is just the way it was then, except for the front door. It used to be one big door, cut in half so we could open the top or the bottom. I remember closing the windows at night and pulling in the shutters, which we boarded up at night. My mother was a weaver so we had canvashanging on the walls, always nice and white washed. My father died, so we moved to Provo when I was eight years old."
