This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that were built to support activities on both the historic Cavalry and Artillery Posts.
Building 310, at the intersection of Holbrook and Dickman Avenues, is constructed of native limestone and opened its doors in 1902. It originally served as a bakery and was home to the Bakers and Cooks School. It was at the school that Captain L.R. Holbrook and Commissary Sergeant Patrick Dunne created all the cook books, field ranges and field ovens that were used throughout the Army during that time period. The two men patented an early version of field oven then released their copyrights and patents to the government. Two other similar schools at Washington, D.C and the Presidio Monterey were established and patterned after the Fort Riley school.
Today, Fort Riley's Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation uses the facility for various purposes.
