This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at buildings that originally served to support activities on the old Artillery Post. Building 380 Carter Avenue was built in 1903. It was originally used as an Artillery Stable. Its walls and foundation were made from #limestone, its floor from brick and it had a tin roof. It was built to stable 166 horses.
Like most buildings in this area of post, by 1930 building 380 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 380 is occupied by the Corvias Self Help Center, where residents can trade in old items for new such as batteries, light bulbs, and fire extinguishers and borrow tools like rakes, shovels and ladders.
