— Rolla —
"The USO had a substantial operation in Rolla during World War Two, serving thousands of soldiers on leave looking for recreation and an opportunity to get away from military life at Fort "Lost-in-the-Woods". The need for appropriate, and segregated, facilities led to the construction of two nearly identical USO buildings on Ninth Street in 1942. The "white" USO, erected on the southeast corner of Ninth and Rolla streets, became the home of the Missouri Geological Survey from the end of World War Two until 1962. It is now the University of Missouri-Rolla's Buehler Building."| HM Number | HM2KXG |
