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 336 Dickman Avenue was built in 1897 as an Ambulance Shed. It had corrugated iron walls and roof with a dirt floor. DPW maintenance records indicate that by 1927, building 336 was being referred to as a Truck Shed. In 1937 the shed was renovated with walls of #limestone, corrugated iron and wood, and a concrete floor and repurposed as a Paint Shop. Most recently, 336 Dickman has been repurposed again into the Sign Shop. It continues to serve in that capacity today.
