This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at facilities built to support activities around the old Artillery Post.
Building 408 Pershing Court opened in1909 as an Artillery Guard House with a capacity of 92 men. It was constructed with #limestone walls and foundation, a slate roof and wooden floors.
#FortRiley Directorate of Public Works (DPW) maintenance documents show that by 1930 building 408 had been redesignated as a Cavalry Barracks after the Artillery School at Fort Riley was discontinued following World War I.
Today 408 Pershing Court is home to DPW’s Engineering Services Division, whose mission includes engineering and architectural support, as well as construction project management and oversight
