This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that were built to support activities on both the historic Cavalry and Artillery Posts.
Building 308 Holbrook Avenue, located at the southwest corner of Carter and Holbrook Avenues, was built in 1904. Constructed from native limestone bldg. 308 was first used as an ordinance storehouse.
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.
Today, bldg. 308 is being used by the Directorate of Public Works as a maintenance shop.
