Notes
  • Significance: Building #19 is historically significant as the only surviving building associated with the founding period of Fort Leavenworth. Erected as the post commander's quarters and office, the Rookery was the home during the 1830's of Col. Henry Dodge and Col. Stephen W. Kearny, two of the first dragoon commanders on the Western frontier. The Rookery also served in 1854 as the residence of the first territorial governor of Kansas, Andrew H. Reeder. Architecturally, the Rookery retains traces of French Colonial vernacular architecture in its high basement and two-tiered verandahs. Its stone walls were quarried on post from native Kansas limestone. The building itself is one of the oldest U.S. military structures west of St. Louis.
