This Fort Riley Friday we continue our look at houses around Cavalry Parade Field.
Quarters 20 Sheridan Avenue was built in 1897 with limestone walls and foundation, wood floors and a tin shingle roof. By 1930, a slate roof had been installed.
Quarters 20 was one of the duplexes constructed using Capt. George Pond's modified version of the standard Army duplex. Pond, Fort Riley's constructing quartermaster at the time, incorporated a full two-story, two-bay projecting front gable that divided the front porch into two separate sections. Pond is credited with evolving the standard Army house into a more complex form.
