This #FortRileyFriday we continue our look at some of the buildings constructed on post as part of an Army-wide initiative to upgrade facilities after #WorldWarI. This construction program began in 1927 with the goal of replacing temporary #WWI structures with permanent structures for a peacetime Army. The program continued nationwide until about 1940.
Quarters 432 Godfrey Avenue and 433 Carpenter Avenue were the last two apartment buildings constructed in the Carpenter Avenue neighborhood. Both built in 1934, they featured walls of brick and tile, concrete foundations, wood floors and slate roofs. The buildings opened as "Student Officer Apartments" and continue to serve in a housing capacity today.
