This Fort Riley Friday we head out towards Camp Funston to examine building 1020 on Huebner Road.
1020 Huebner began its life as quarters for packers, muleskinners and blacksmiths using Fort Riley's Pack Train Station. Pack trains would be used to haul food and other goods over great distances.
Built in 1911, building 1020 was constructed with limestone walls and foundation, wood and concrete floors and a slate roof. It had a capacity of 45 men.
Since the days of the pack trains, building 1020 has been an administrative building (late 1958), the Rod & Gun Club (1964) and an office building for the Directorate of Public Works Natural Resources Branch (1987.) Following a 2008 renovation building 1020 re-opened as the ACS (Army Community Service) Annex. The Directorate of Fire and Emergency Services headquarters relocated from Fire Station 1 on Custer Hill to building 1020 in September of 2012 and continues to occupy the facility today.
