This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that originally served to support activities on the old Artillery Post.
Building 367 Carr Avenue was built in 1889. It was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1909. It was originally used as an Artillery Gun Shed. It was made out of #limestone walls and foundation with a slate roof and a brick floor.
Various parts of the building were used as a repair shop, paint shop and a storage loft.
Like most buildings in this area of post, by 1930 building 367 was redesignated from an Artillery facility to a Cavalry facility. This was a result of the Artillery School at #FortRiley being discontinued following World War I.
Today, building 367 is occupied by Skookum Contract Services, providing #FortRiley with facilities support and maintenance services.
