Can anyone identify this structure in Wartrace, Tn?

.....more specifically, does anyone know what this structure was called and it's place in TWH history?

Is this where they met to form TWH REG?

This raised building is located on the main drag in Wartrace and is know as " The Well House". It has been used for many purposes down through the years, but beginning around 1906 the structure served as the judges stand for the first Wartrace Horse Show.

"Originally dubbed “The Greatest All-Day and Night Show in Tennessee,” the Wartrace Farmer’s Carnival and Stock Show featured live music, a dog show, a beauty pageant, an auto show, and a ball game. Equine activities included a mare and colt show in the morning and a horse show in the evening. The horses were shown up and down the graveled Front Street, from one corner to the next. Strings of light bulbs draped up and down the street provided illumination and a water trough in the middle of the street provided refreshment for the show horses. Class winners would usually receive a valuable sack of flour or coffee. The wellhouse served as a judge’s stand and also as a place for visitors to congregate. A band made up of local merchants provided music for the event. As the wellhouse was clearly the place to be, the band would often set up and play from there."

In what state would you have found the "Boy's Town Horse Show" ?

Nebraska

Well, Missouri was the answer I was looking for. Was there one in Nebraska too???

The orginal Boys Town is in Omaha, Nebr. It is located on west Dodge St. The Decker's "Horse Heaven" Saddlebred Stables was right across the street in the 60's. That is where Mr. Sensation and WGC 3-gaited mare Delightful Society were both buried in the center of the riding ring in front of the barn. Last time I was in Omaha all was gone and a Jewish facility had been built there. But now that you mention it I do believe the show your speaking of was in Missouri.
