Sevicemen gathered around USO Piano
Harris Hall's popularity was challenged by competition from movies, automobiles, and other recreational choices. During World War II, St. Andrew's provided the building rent free to the USO as a recreation hall for servicemen (shown gathered around the piano above). Student activities moved for a time to a large home known as Canterbury House, on North Division across Catherine Street from the church.
