Notes
  • Significance: Building #16 is architecturally similar to Buildings #13, #14, #15, #16, and #17, on Forsyth Avenue, and to Buildings #95, #97, #99, #103, #105, and #106 on Schofield Circle. Built from 1889-1903, these double officer's quarters vary slightly only in ornamental woodwork and window detailing. Their rock-faced ashlar limestone walls contrast markedly with the smooth-faced walls of the fort's early, 1850's buildings. Building #16, unlike many of its neighboring buildings, retains its ornamental wooden gable truss and small center gable end on its porch roof. It also is distinguished by rock-faced segmental arch lintels with keystones. Historically, Building #16 was constructed during a boom period in the fort's growth following the establishment of the school for the cavalry and light artillery in 1886. All the buildings on Forsyth Avenue were erected for field officers who taught at the school. Local contractors and laborers, many of whom lived in Junction City, erected the buildings.
