This #FortRileyFriday we look at the last building erected during the early period of #limestone construction on post. After the 1850s, limestone construction had become fashionable and the norm on Fort Riley. Stone residences built on post after the 1850s all have rock-faced walls.
By 1910, construction activity at Fort Riley began to wind down as only seven buildings were constructed in that year. From 1911–1916, only five more buildings were erected. A squadron blacksmith shop located at 246 Law Avenue, formerly known as Stuart Avenue, built in 1916, was the last permanent structure erected during the building program associated with the establishment of the Cavalry and Light Artillery School at Fort Riley. The building is still in use today as a maintenance facility.
