This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that originally served to support activities on the old Artillery Post.
Building 378 Dickman Avenue was built in 1904. It was originally designated as an Artillery Workshop. It was made with #limestone walls and foundation, with a wood and brick floor and a slate roof.
Like most buildings in this area of post, by 1930 building 378 was redesignated from an Artillery facility to a Cavalry facility after the Artillery School at #FortRiley was discontinued following World War I.
Directorate of Public Works (DPW) maintenance documents show that by 1930
building 378 was designated as a "Cavalry Stable Guard and Blacksmith Shop."
Today, building 378 is occupied by Munie Greencare Professionals, the landscaping contractor for Corvias.
