This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that were built to support activities on both the historic Cavalry and Artillery Posts.
Building 303 Marshall Avenue is constructed of native limestone and opened its doors in 1905 as a Subsistence 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.
From 1905 to 1958, building 303 served as the post commissary. That activity then moved to building 222. Today, building 303 is part of the Civilian Human Resources Agency (CHRA) campus of buildings located between Marshall and Holbrook Avenues. CHRA is the organization in the Department of the Army responsible for providing civilian human resources services.
