The February 28, 1947 edition of "The Freehold Transcript" reported that 400 men and women attended a mortgage burning party at the post home the previous Friday, February 21, 1947. The Transcript reported that many people were prevented from attending the party because of "the snow storm."
The article said that the post home building was purchased from Mary Cashon on April 28, 1927. At the time, the post has $500 in its treasury, which was turned over to the building committee. To raise the rest of the money needed to purchase the building $25 bonds were sold to the members and a $5,000 mortgage was held by the Freehold Mutual Loan Association.
