2 The administration-museum building stood just west of the second American battleline, about fifty yards north of the Nathanael Greene Monument. The residence and utility area were constructed immediately east of the first battleline. Both sites likely would have yielded archaeological evidence had surveys been performed. Evidence is persuasive that all structures in the area at the time of the battle were of log or frame construction. James H.

10 The amphitheater construction was probably the result of Representative Umstead's continued lobbying for public works construction projects. Upon completion the amphitheater sat unused until 28 September 1941 when troops from the II Army Corps, on their way south to manuevers, used it as a site for chapel services and a band concert.
