December 5, 1927 where a fire hall and community building could be developed.  A building committee was formed consisting of William P. Horst, Paul I. Moyer, Elam Felty, Lester G. Brandt, Harold W. Risser, E.O. Miller and Amos F. Geesaman.  The completed fire hall and community building was dedicated on Saturday, October 4, 1930.  Campbelltown’s Community Building was used, not only the fire company and its ladies auxiliary, but also by the PTA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Lions Club.  The three story brick building contained a stage where the local PTA plays were performed; a barbershop, of which George Bordlemay was the proprietor; fire truck room; and a kitchen and dining room in the basement, used by the Ladies Auxiliary for pancake dinners, and ox roasts.

THE CURTAIN

            The stage within the old building was fitted with a curtain.  A curtain committee was established as early as 1937.  Throughout the late 1930’s and early 1940’s the committee secured various businesses to advertise on the curtain.  Such businesses as Miller Chevrolet, A.H. Dissinger, the merchant, Campbelltown Bank, Pine Tree Dairy, C.L. Arnold, undertaker, and Gingrich’s Bakery paid $10.00 each.  Roy Dundore, a Lebanon sign painter was paid $40.00 to pain the whole curtain.  It was noted, on December 7, 1942, that the product was finished and paid for.
            Eventually, the curtain would become a topic of conversation during the early 1950’s.  A motion was passed to authorize the committee to secure costs for a picture to be painted on the curtain.  Mr. Roy Deets, a local artist, was asked to supply a quote as well as Dissinger’s Store for new velour curtains.  Included in his report on May 7, 1951, Mr. Harry Horst stated the different prices required for such a task.  It was eventually approved that the artist be permitted to produce a new overall picture at a cost of $75.00.
            With the eventual sale of the building, the curtain would be placed in the South Londonderry Township Building for storage.  Once the restoration efforts by Robert Kain began in the late 1990’s, the subject of the curtain again surfaced.  A search was conducted and the curtain was found rolled up in the Township garage.  Eventually, it was returned to its rightful place for everyone to enjoy once more.
            The firehouse and community building provided many years of service; however, with the purchase of a squad truck in 1958, the one-truck-bay of the firehouse would not be suitable for both pieces of apparatus.  A discussion soon followed; various proposals were presented, including structural alterations to the firehouse.  Finally, after a few years, a decision to build a new structure surfaced.

A NEW BUILDING

            A building committee was formed.  After much discussion, a Mr. Bemesderfer was hired to produce the necessary plans for the structure.  Construction began in July of 1967 with members of the Company handling most of the work.

As the new building was nearing completion, a committee was formed, in October 1968, for the purpose of finding a buyer for the 1930 structure.  A proposal was made to South Londonderry Township Supervisors who turned down the offer stating that it would not be appropriate for their use.  The search for a buyer continued for the next few
