Notes
  • Significance: This building was one of a small complex of warehouses which comprised the Fort's Quartermaster Depot. From its founding through the 1870's, Fort Leavenworth served as the Quartermaster Depot for military operations from the plains to the Pacific. Supplies were brought by steamboat from St. Louis up the Missouri River, and trans-shipped across the plains by wagons. As the frontier advanced, the Fort's function as a quartermaster depot diminished; a new responsibility was assumed when the Fort was appointed the site for consolidation of military prisons. The new Military Prison was housed in the former Quartermaster Depot buildings, adapted to the purpose. Several surviving stone depot buildings continue to serve the present U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, renamed in 1915. Building #357 was converted in 1876 to serve as a residence for the prison Governor, and subsequently, the Prison Surgeon also. It has continued to house Prison Commandants, to the present.
