“Armory Inventory and Stationing Plan, South Carolina,” 1959, Folder 633, South Carolina, Box 3784, Army-NGB Decimal File, 1959, RG 168, NARA II. A motor vehicle storage building was built in 1950 on Clemson University land that was loaned for that purpose. In October 1964, the University inquired about the donation of that building back to the University. The federal government responded that their only interest was in the building’s availability for Guard purposes for 25 years from its date of completion (December 5, 1950). Clemson leased 8.05 acres of land for the new facility in exchange for the return of the lands on which the old facility was built. No new motor vehicle storage building was built at the new facility “since such facilities are not considered essential adjuncts to armories in temperate climates.” See Major General Winston P. Wilson to Major General Frank D. Pinckney (SC Adjutant General), October 7, 1964, Folder 1505-11 SC 64, Box 22, National Guard Bureau, General Subject Files, 1964; and Winston P. Wilson to Lt. Col. CE Harris, August 24, 1964, Folder 1505-11 SC 64, Box 22, National Guard Bureau, General Subject Files, 1964.

Staff Sergeant Timothy Short, personal conversation, October 26, 2010, and Rhodes, 289. Rhodes reports that the armory was formally dedicated on July 18, 1965, although this conflicts with both Kitchens, et al (26), and Timothy Short, who insist that operations began there early in 1964.
