Enlisted Barracks

<br><br> Four enlisted barracks were hastily assembled during the winter of 1867-1868. They faced the parade ground on three sides. Each barrack held a company of 60 to 100 men and consisted of two squad rooms, a room for the first sergeant, and a small storeroom. The mess hall and kitchen were located in back of the barrack buildings.<br><br> Quartermaster First Lieutenant Frank Baldwin requested the addition of washrooms to the barracks in May 1870. &#8220;The men now have to wash in the open air, consequently having no opportunity offered them of washing their persons… I therefore consider it a necessity to have the wash room built.&#8221; A short time later the request was approved at a cost of $548.40.
