This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at the collection of buildings that serve as the hub of activity for the Directorate of Public Works (DPW). Public Works is the installation's primary element for maintenance of the installation, infrastructure, and the environment.
Building 335 Dickman Avenue was built in 1897 as a Wagonmaster's Office, according to the Army Corps of Engineers. It is constructed from native #limestone with a tin roof. DPW maintenance records indicate that in the early 1900's the building was designated as the Motor Transportation Office. By 1930, the building had been converted to non commissioned officer quarters and a barber shop. Most recently, building 335 housed offices for the DPW Division of Roads and Grounds supervisor and work leader. It is currently vacant.
