Boys' Dormitory (116)

The Boys' Dormitory was constructed in 1932. Located on the east end of the fort's Parade Ground, it is on the site of earlier military structures including a telegraph office. Sandstone was quarried for the building's construction from a site about a half mile east of the post; a German stonecutter was commissioned to supervise the work.

The dormitory has twenty six student rooms, and may have housed as many as four hundred boys during the height of the school's attendance.

Marker is on Barracks Row, on the right when traveling west.
