Notes
  • Significance: The largest and one of the first buildings completed on the post. The older of the two-company barracks, first occupied in July of 1901. Served as barracks for the Women's Army Corps in World War II, and had only partial and intermittent use since that time. Completed December 30, 1899, from QMGO Plan No. 75-D. Original cost: $34,748. Two and one-half story frame structure on a rock-faced sandstone and brick foundation. H-shaped in plan, main building dimensions: 153' x 47', north and south wings: 32'6" x 68'. Lapped cedar siding. Asphalt shingles on a hipped roof replace original slate shingles. Hipped roof dormers with curved reveals, projecting bracketed cornice. Metal ventilators characteristic of those on other post buildings. Full-width porch has pipe railing, asphalt roofing, Tuscan columns. Two-over-two, double hung sash, multiple-paned casements in dormers. Mirror-image interior designed to house two companies. Plaster ceilings. Raised porches added to rear of north and south wings, interior spaces partitioned, and wall, ceiling and floor finishes of minimum quality applied during World War II. Coal-fired steam heat converted to oil, electricity replaced mineral oil lighting ca. 1910.
