Notes
  • Significance: This building was completed in 1921 from a standard Army design for a laundry. It is included in the Fort Monroe National Historic Landmark by virtue of its physical location, but has not been separately nominated to the National Register. According to a HABS inventory carried out in 1987, Building 168 is an anomaly at Fort Monroe because of its frame construction and unusual appearance. Fort Monroe centers around a masonry fort begun in 1819 and completed in 1834. Most buildings in and around the fort are of brick and date from the 19th century. Architectural styles are generally Colonial Revival. Building 168 does not conform to the architectural character of Fort Monroe. The HABS inventory assigned this structure a rating of Category IV, resources of little or no historical, architectural or technological importance, and recommended no special preservation. The standard design from which Building 168 was constructed was used at numerous military installations around the country, and an excellent example still stands at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. This is considered important as a building type the Army standardized and used widely.
