Notes
  • Significance: Building #162, built in 1907, is located on Schofield Circle, and is one of fifteen officers residences constructed in a horseshoe pattern bordering on the Artillery Parade Field. Erected in the period 1887 to 1909, these residences houses artillery officers and their families. The street was named for Major General J.M. Schofield who played a significant role in establishing the artillery school at Fort Riley. The street's orientation away from the cavalry parade suggests the fort's new role as a training school during the late-nineteenth century. Building #162 was one of the last residences built on Schofield Circle. It was pre-dated by two years by Buildings #170 and #171. Building #162, however, has special significance. During its early years it served as bachelor officer's quarters (BOQ) and from 1918 to 1936 it housed the fort's doctor and family. After 1936 it housed the doctor on an intermittent basis. Also, Building #162 is one of only a couple of officer's quarters on the fort with a dentiled cornice. This Georgian detail stood against the fort's more general movement away from ornamentation during the early-twentieth century as plain, functional windows and porches had begun to replace more elaborate, decorative features that graced the buildings during the previous years.
