The city,county,library,and museum show no records of this little white stucco building ever having been built. All we have, are the memories of a few who were children at the time. June Windland was 7 or 8 when she remembers with awe watching her dad and others building the rafters of the roof, and throwing on the stucco to the outside walls. She has no sense of being 'poor', during the Great Depression of the 30's, indeed it was a place for happy and exuberant gathering. June remembers it being called the church of the holy rollers. When the singing started, she and the other kids ducked under the pews so as not to get trampled. It was on the edge of town, in fact, the "wrong" side of the tracks was just to the north on Brooks, called Irish Row. So, Gillette's riff-raff, and the railroaders, were Suite Escape's original party crowd.
