Notes
  • Significance: Building #6 was erected as a residence for an officer on the staff of the Army of the Missouri, like building #7, (1868) next door. It is probable that building #6 remained a residence of Department of the Missouri officers until the Department was moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1890. By the early twentieth century, the quarters became a residence for officers associated with the newly revitalized Army Service School. In addition, the erection of Building #6 on Scott Avenue suggests an interest in developing Scott Avenue as the residential street for the highest ranking officers. The location on the east side of Scott Avenue, with one elevation over-looking the Missouri River and another facing a park, demonstrates a conscious effort of physical planning for that period. Architecturally, Building #6 is an original composition. The most apparent influences are Queen Anne, Eastlake, Georgian and vernacular. The porch is the most notable feature of the house, the two story veranda having had a long history at Fort Leavenworth, first appearing in the late 1830's on the Post Commander's House (Building #17).
