This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at the buildings constructed around Cavalry Parade Field during the post's early days.
Building 210 Custer Avenue is the In-Processing Facility where Soldiers are processed upon their arrival at #FortRiley.
This building was constructed in 1889 as a post consolidated mess hall. This idea was a revolutionary one for the Army. Prior to this, cooking was the responsibility of individual companies and of Soldiers detailed on a monthly basis.
Building 210 underwent extensive renovations consisiting of the replacement of the ceiling grid, acoustical ceiling tiles, new flooring and wall finishes. The complete heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) was replaced. The electrical system was upgraded to support the new HVAC equipment and provide new lighting. The renovation work was completed in 2020 and did not impact the historic nature of the building.
