This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at some of the buildings constructed on post as part of an Army-wide initiative to upgrade facilities after #WorldWarI. This construction program began in 1927 with the goal of replacing temporary #WWI structures with permanent structures for a peacetime Army. The program continued nationwide until about 1940.
Fort Riley received many new permanent buildings as part of this program. Last week we showed you five apartment buildings built in 1928 along Carpenter Ave./Place. In 1930 three additional apartment buildings were built for student officers directly southeast of the 1928 apartments. These buildings (435, 436, 437 Carpenter Ave./Place) continue to serve as housing today.
