The gymnasium/auditorium was built beside the school shortly after.
Those who played basketball for Farmington were known to have a distinct advantage over the competition because the court’s roof was lower than usual. This meant the rafters often blocked the opponent’s high shots.
Following the closure and razing of the main school building in the late 1960s, the two buildings behind the school were bought by the the Methodist Church, where they remained until 1985. Three generations of the Kahle family attended mass on this site.
In 1985, Dave bought the church buildings, and began construction of the Kahle’s Factory.
In 1995, Kahle’s purchased the old gym structure from Pennstyle/Carmate. Today, it currently houses the Kahle’s Kitchens showroom, molding shop, and custom shop.
