This Fort Riley Friday we continue our look at houses around Cavalry Parade Field.
Quarters 22 Sheridan Avenue was built in 1887 with limestone walls and foundation, wood floors and a slate roof.
Quarters 22 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.
