Hopewell Township in Bascom in Seneca County, Ohio — The American Midwest (Great Lakes)
Meadowbrook Park
Side B: (Continued from other side) In 1929, Haugh moved the park to the south side of Wolf Creek where he added more amenities. A second dance pavilion, completed in 1931, was destroyed by fire on August 19, 1933. Again, despite suspicious circumstances, no party was suspected. The 7,000 square foot Redwood Ballroom was completed in 1934. Using state-of-the art trusses that allowed for the large open floor space and domed roof, the ballroom was engineered to reduce echo. Although the materials were supplied by Haugh’s company, he died on October 4, 1933, and never saw the third dance pavilion finished.
