Notes
  • Significance: Building #5 is one of five existing quarters that date from the antebellum period of Fort Leavenworth. Built by Hiram Rich, the post sutler from 1842 to 1862, sections of the original log house are reputed to exist within the two and a half story clapboard building. While Fort Leavenworth was the temporary first capital of the Kansas territory in 1854, the recently appointed Governor Reeder took his meals at the sutler's house. After the death of Hiram Rich in 1862, the house was purchased by the War Department, as a residence for the depot quartermaster. However, after the transfer of the Headquarters of the Missouri to Fort Leavenworth, the quarters became the residence of the Commander of the Department. Many notable military officers, including Generals John Schofield, Winfield Hancock, Philip Sheridan and John Pope lived in Building #5. The quarters were the residences of the Post Commander from 1904 to 1912 and today serves as the exclusive residence of major generals and their families.
