This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at facilities built to support activities around the old Artillery Post.
Building 407 Pershing Court opened in 1907 as an Artillery Barracks with a capacity of 162 men. It was constructed with #limestone walls and foundation, a slate roof and wood and concrete floors.
#FortRiley Directorate of Public Works (DPW) maintenance documents show that by 1930 building 407 had been redesignated as a Cavalry Barracks after the Artillery School at Fort Riley was discontinued following World War I.
Today 407 Pershing Court is home to DPW’s Environmental Division, which leads the post’s conservation and compliance mission.
