This interesting looking place was apparently the old “KC Hall”. It was built by the CCC in the 30s. Someone commented on this post and had the following to say: “This is an old hall built in the 1930’s by the CCC. We are in the process of fixing it up as a day cabin. It was used for dances, 4H, Homemakers, church fairs, etc.”
I can totally see that! cheery community events held here and the CCC building this place - it’s a nice history to imagine!
I found a wonderful article on the history in the town of Huff here. And it mentions this building!
“With drought and a depression striking not just North Dakota, but the entire country, many were forced to give up their homesteads and find work elsewhere. For many, that came in the form of the Works Progress Administration. The area would see some much needed improvements, as well as other areas being preserved for history. While the WPA was busy helping preserve the Huff Indian Historical Site, workers were also building roads and ditches. It was also at this time that the town of Huff would get a welcomed addition; a new dance hall.”
And the article contains more great history. Check this out.
“Taking the name of the previous fort, Fort Rice would soon see an increasing number of settlers coming to the area. One of those individuals was a man by the name of John Huff.
Arriving in Fort Rice in 1888, Huff had filed a claim for a 160 acres of land eight miles north of the town, with the want to homestead that area.
Unlike many other settlers though, Huff’s primary interest wasn’t in farming. Instead, seeing what seemed to be a great opportunity, Huff had learned that the Northern Pacific was planning on building a branch line to Fort Rice.
It wouldn’t be for another two decades that the branch would begin to materialize. Facing both financial problems, as well as set backs in laying track, the progress of the Northern Pacific was often hampered.
For Huff, the postponements would get the better of him. Having built a saloon on his land, he held out hope, but would pass away before it came to realization.”
“Pushing south, under Edward Fogerty, the branch line would begin to form in 1910. Soon, the line would move to the area where Huff had lived, 19 miles southeast of Mandan. The stop that would be created there would be called the 19th siding.
With more individuals settling in the area, a post office was established the next year, on May 12, 1911. Emmeth Dobson would be installed as the Postmaster there, and he would name the place Huff, in honor of the early homesteader.
The town would take off. A large railroad depot was built, and with the town growing rapidly, a school house was also established.
As immigrants continued to pour into the area, Huff would experience a short golden age. Soon buildings were sprouting from the prairie. Huff was no longer just a railroad town.
Serving the community, two elevators, two stores, two cafes, a church, hardware store, lumberyard and blacksmith were constructed. By 1915, when Huff was at its height, the area seemed to be promising. However, the town would never reach a population greater than 60.
Slowly, those who had helped build up the town began passing away, or moving from the area, closing up shop as they did.
In 1920, a landmark of the area would see its final patrons. Built by George Markham in 1902, the first store and cafe would close their doors when Markham moved away. Others would follow.”
So, this incredible place overlooking the river is St.Martin. And the great article on Huff history addresses this place directly. Let’s jump back to when the CCC built that old dance hall…
“This hall would also serve an important purpose in the coming years. In 1940, St. Martin’s Catholic church was struck by lighting, causing it to burn down.”
“Over the next seven years, the hall would become a place of worship for those who suddenly found themselves without a spiritual home. As often was the case though, the town came together, gathering field stones, and in 1947, the newly built church opened its doors. It was the church on the hill. Yet, for those in Huff, it was much more.”

Petite brunette actress American actress Jane Wyatt (1910-2006) starred in several Hollywood films, such as Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (1937). She is best known for her role as homemaker and mother Margaret Anderson in the television comedy series Father Knows Best (1954-1960), and as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of Spock on the Science-Fiction television series Star Trek (1966-1969). Wyatt was a three-time Emmy Award winner.
Jane Waddington Wyatt was born in 1910 in Campgaw (now part of Mahwah), New Jersey, but grew up in New York. Her father, Christopher Billop Wyatt Jr. worked on Wall Street as an investor; her mother was the drama critic Euphemia Van Rensselaer Waddington. She was directly descended, on her mother's side, from the van Rensselaer family, one of the earliest Dutch families to settle in the Colonies, as early as 1638, and which at one time owned most of what is now New York City. Jane attended the fashionable Chapin School and later Barnard College. After two years of college, she left to join the apprentice school of the Berkshire Playhouse at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where she played an assortment of roles for six months. One of her first jobs on Broadway was as an understudy to Rose Hobart in a production of 'Trade Winds'. Her career move cost her her slot on the New York Social Register. Wyatt made the transition from stage to screen and was placed under contract at Universal. There she made her film debut in director James Whale's courtroom drama One More River (1934) starring Diana Wynyard. She went back and forth between Universal and Broadway. Her most famous film role was as Ronald Colman's lover in Frank Capra's Lost Horizon (1937).
During the 1940s, Jane Wyatt starred in the films None but the Lonely Heart (Clifford Odets, 1944) with Cary Grant, Gentleman's Agreement (Elia Kazan, 1947) with Gregory Peck, and the Film Noir Boomerang! (Elia Kazan, 1947) with Dana Andrews). She also starred in the Film Noirs Pitfall (André De Toth, 1948) with Dick Powell and House by the River (Fritz Lang, 1950) with Louis Hayward. Her film career suffered due to her outspoken opposition to Senator Joseph McCarthy, the chief figure in the anti-Communist investigations of that era. She was temporarily derailed for having assisted in hosting a performance by the Bolshoi Ballet during the Second World War, though it was at the request of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Wyatt returned to her roots on the New York stage for a time and appeared in such plays as Lillian Hellman's 'The Autumn Garden', opposite Fredric March. Many people remember her best for her role as Margaret Anderson, the mother in the TV comedy series Father Knows Best (1954-1960), with Robert Young as her husband. The classic sitcom chronicled the life and times of the Anderson family in the Midwestern town of Springfield. Wyatt won three consecutive Emmy Awards for her portrayal of Margaret Anderson. She played Spock's mother in a 1967 episode of the original Star Trek series. 20 years later, she appeared in a feature film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (Leonard Nimoy, 1986). In between, she remained in the public eye as a fixture of such made-for-television features as You'll Never See Me Again (Jeannot Szwarc, 1973) and Amelia Earhart (George Schaefer, 1976). Jane Wyatt died in 2006 at home, in Bel-Air, California. She was 96 years old. Her funeral was at the Church of St Martin of Tours in Brentwood, California. She married investment broker Edgar Bethune Ward in 1935 and they remained together till his death in 2000. They had two sons, Christopher and Michael Ward. With her husband, she was interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, CA.
