Presidential Aids who were stationed at the camp say that this fireplace was mainly used for outdoor photographs. When reporters and authors wanted pictures of the Chief Executive and his guests they were often posed here. Logs, used for benches, once surrounded the hearth. President Hoover and Prime Minister McDonald probably sat together on a log for a newspaper photograph. This probably gave rise to the story that these two world leaders disarmed the navies of the world while sitting on a log.
