This #FortRileyFriday we take a look back a building constructed to house officers stationed at the old Artillery Post.
400 Holbrook Avenue was built in 1907 as Bachelor Officer Quarters. It had ten living units and was constructed with #limestone walls and foundation, a slate roof and wooden floors. It was named Randolph Hall in honor of COL Wallace Randolph who commanded the Artillery Post from 1892 to 1898.
By 1930, building 400 had been converted to Officer's Quarters with a listed capacity of eight. The other two units at that time were used as temporary quarters for personnel visiting #FortRiley.
Today, 400 Holbrook Ave. is still being used as living quarters for soldiers working in nearby buildings and their families.
