KCSD#7 meetings are held in the old Fort Ward bakery building, which was built in 1910. The bakery provided bread for soldiers stationed at the US Army Coast Artillery Fort Ward for almost 20 years. In World War II, the building was converted to a power house to provide electricity for what became US Naval Radio Station Bainbridge Island, which listened in on Imperial Japanese radio transmissions.

After a multi-year effort, the historic bakery building is now officially the Fort Ward Community Hall!

Friends of Fort Ward, a 501(c)3, along with the Sewer District, the Bainbridge Island Metropolitan Park and Recreation District, the Fort Ward Youth Advisory Board, neighbors and other organizations, raised the funds to make this happen. The Park District operates the building, which is used for classes, scout meetings, potlucks, etc. — and sewer district meetings, of course! The sewer district, which owns the building, maintains a small office there.
