This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that originally served to support activities on the old Artillery Post.
Building 363 Carr Avenue was built in 1909 and was originally used as an Artillery Gun Shed. It was built with #limestone walls and foundation with a slate roof and a brick floor. Various parts of the facility were used as a repair shop, paint shop and a storage loft.
Like most buildings in this area of post, by 1930 building 363 was redesignated as a Cavalry Gun Shed. This was a result of the Artillery School at #FortRiley being discontinued following World War I.
Today, building 363 is occupied by AAFES, Skookum Contract Services and Fort Riley’s Criminal Investigation Command (CID.)
