This #FortRileyFriday we check out a one-of-a-kind building on post.
The single-family brick residence at 306 Holbrook Avenue was built in 1889 as Engineer Quarters. This area of Main Post between and to the south of the Cavalry and Artillery Posts is referred to in historic terms by the Army Corp of Engineers as the Quartermaster Supply Service District. The buildings in this area served their respective functions in support of both posts. The majority of them are constructed of native limestone. Quarters 306 has the distinction of being the only 19th century single-family brick residence on all of #FortRiley. It continues to serve that role today.
