History is being preserved and the mission is being met at Missouri National Guard Base Jefferson Barracks. Building 29 on Sherman Road is undergoing a complete renovation by the Missouri National Guard under the guidance of the State Historic Preservation Office.
The almost 120 year old building was first used as a Cavalry Barracks at the turn of the 20th century and in less than a years time it will be home to the Missouri Air National Guard’s 131st Civil Engineering Squadron and the 231st Civil Engineering Flight.
Jefferson Barracks is the first permanent US military base west of the Mississippi River. Building 29 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Office is working with the Missouri National Guard to keep important historic elements of the building intact, including the building’s exterior, unique cast iron columns, staircase and chimneys.
