This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings constructed in the area around Cavalry Parade Field at the turn of the 20th century.
Building 214 Custer Avenue, like many others in this area of post, was constructed as barracks. It opened in 1903 along with its neighbor building 212, and building 208. In fact, these three buildings are nearly identical except for the porch structure that was retained on the exterior of bldg. 214. (Most barracks built during this time period included a porch or balcony structure that was later removed.)
Through the years building 214 has served as Military Police barracks as the MP Station is across the street.
