Two-story stone building featuring a central steeple on the pitched roof and forward facing eaves on each end. The entrance is a pointed arch with pointed arch panes in the transom and double doors. The name "Recreation Building" appears in a white stone slab above the doorway. The Gymnasium, designed by Harry Carlson of Boston, is part of the Ford Complex. It is said that Henry Ford thought Martha Berry had requested a "recreation" building, while his wife Clara insisted Berry had asked for a "recitation" building, so they built both structures for the school. The central heating plant in the Gymnasium, called the "boiler room," controls heating for the entire Ford Complex. For more information see Dickey, Ouida W., ed.
