The original Post Headquarters and Officer Quarters on this spot were
built in 1876 of wood. It was replaced by this brick and concrete building
in the late 1930s. That's when the headquarters was relocated to another
building and this building became the Adjutant Office and Officer's quarters
until 1949 when the post was closed.
The
back of the building was a little distressed when we were there in 2017

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
