Abstract: U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Drum (Fort Drum) is a U.S. Army Forces Command installation with the primary mission of training soldiers for the 10th Mountain Division. This document is an architectural survey of 17 permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary properties constructed between 1941 and 1994 at Fort Drum, New York. This report determines if these 17 buildings are eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). None of the buildings surveyed were found to be eligible for the NRHP. This survey was initiated for the Section 106 process and satisfies Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended, and was used to determine the eligibility of these buildings for inclusion on the NRHP.

Methodology
Through the years, the United States Congress has enacted laws to preserve our national cultural heritage. The first major Federal preservation legislation was the Antiquities Act of 1906. This Act was instrumental in securing protection for archeological resources on Federal property. The benefits derived from this Act and subsequent legislation precipitated an expanded and broader need for the preservation of historic cultural resources. With this growing awareness, the United States Congress codified the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA), the most sweeping cultural resources legislation to date. The United States Congress created the NHPA to provide guidelines and requirements aimed at preserving tangible elements of our past primarily through the creation of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Contained within this piece of legislation (Sections 110 and 106) are requirements for Federal agencies to address their cultural resources, defined as any prehistoric or historic district, site, building, structure, or object. Section 110 requires Federal agencies to inventory and evaluate their cultural resources. Section 106 requires the determination of effect of Federal undertakings on properties deemed eligible or potentially eligible for the NRHP. Fort Drum, New York, consists of 107,265 acres. Its mission includes command of active component units assigned to the installation, provide administrative and logistical support to tenant units, support to tenant units, support to active and reserve units from all services in training at Fort Drum, and planning and support for the mobilization and training of almost 80,000 troops annually. The mission of the 10th Mountain Division (LI) is to be manned and trained to deploy rapidly by air, sea, and land anywhere in the world, prepared to fight upon arrival and win.

Background

Objectives
The objectives of this study were to (1) inventory 17 buildings and structures dating from 1941 to 1994 (see Table 1); (2) research the history of those 17 buildings and structures; and (3) assess the eligibility of the buildings and structures according to NRHP guidelines. The cantonment map has the buildings surveyed in

red (Figure 1). Study of the subject facilities was required for the NHPA compliance because the buildings have reached or are close to 50 years of age, at which time they become potentially eligible for the National Register (the few buildings that were not 50-years of age were surveyed since they were directly associated with a building that was 50-years of age). For a property to qualify for the NRHP, it must meet at least one of the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, must be significantly associated with an important historic context, and must retain sufficient integrity to convey its significance.

Approach
Per Section 110 of the NHPA, Fort Drum needs to evaluate all of its buildings and structures 50 years of age and older. Under a Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request, the Engineer Research and Development Center’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) was retained to undertake the project by completing an inventory and, Determination of Eligibility (DOE) for certain Fort Drum properties constructed between 1941 and 1994. All of the buildings that had not reached 5o years of age were treated under Criteria Consideration G: Properties that Have Achieved Significance within the Past 50 Years. This report has several parts. First is the methodology used for the report, the second consists of the historic context for evaluating the buildings, third are the inventory and evaluation results, and the fourth part contains the historic property inventory forms for all evaluated buildings and structures.

Archival Research
Archival research involves several tasks. The first task is the initial literature review. The second is to identify and locate primary research materials.

Literature review
The research team used secondary literature to determine the general history of the cantonment at Fort Drum. This involved reading published and unpublished material found throughout various sources. Items looked at and reviewed for Fort Drum included the Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan 20062010; Historic Context for Department of Defense Facilities World War II; World War II Temporary Military Buildings; and World War II and the Army Mobilization Program.

Research material
The research team then located primary research materials and additional secondary materials to establish a strategy to best utilize these resources. One member of the research team conducted a visit to the National Archives at College Park, Maryland, in November 2007. In addition, research material for the buildings was gathered during the site visit to Fort Drum; including maps from the Engineering Archives, information from the Public Affairs Office, and various local history publications and oral history accounts of Pine Camp during World War II.

ERDC/CERL SR-08-2

Site Visits
Members of the research team conducted one site visit to survey the buildings and conduct research. The site visit occurred in December 2007. During the site visits, researchers collected archival information such as maps and historic photographs from the installation and made preliminary determinations of historic significance. Researchers conducted site reconnaissance on foot and by car using photography, sketches, and note taking to help in getting an overall feeling for the cantonment as a whole and for the individual buildings.

Analysis
After the initial research was complete, the team analyzed the gathered information and resources. Historic maps and photographs were examined and compared to current-day conditions. For those resources with significance based on the historic context and themes, a determination of integrity was made.

Evaluation
The evaluation of structures and landscapes follows the guidelines in the National Register Bulletin #15 How to Apply the National Register Criteria for Evaluation, and National Register Bulletin #16 How to Complete the National Register Registration Form. In addition, the survey followed the Army’s guidance for “Documenting and Evaluating Historic Military Landscapes: An Integrated Landscape Approach.”

Researchers
The researchers utilized on this project were Adam Smith, M.Arch. as project manager and lead architectural historian and Sunny Stone, M.Arch. as assistant architectural historian.

Historic Context1
Fort Drum has been used as a military training site since 1908, however the Army’s presence in the “North Country” may be traced back to the early 1800’s. In 1809 a company of infantry soldiers was stationed at Sackets Harbor to enforce the Embargo Act and control smuggling between northern New York and Canada. Following the outbreak of the War of 1812, Sackets Harbor became the center of United States Naval and military activity for the Upper St. Lawrence River Valley and Lake Ontario. During the 1830’s and 40’s, the Patriots War between the United States and Canada prompted a new round of military preparations and Madison Barracks (Figure 2) became the home of artillery units.

Pine Camp
In 1908, Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant, son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was sent here with 2,000 regulars and 8,000 militia. He found Pine Plains to be an ideal place to train troops (Figure 3). The following year money was allocated to purchase the land and summer training continued here through the years.

Figure 3. Pine Camp (Fort Drum).

The camp’s first introduction to the national spotlight came in 1935 when the largest peacetime maneuvers were held on Pine Plains and surrounding farm lands. Thirtysix thousand, five hundred soldiers came from throughout the Northeast to take part in the exercise. Some soldiers traveled by trains which arrived in town every 15 minutes, coming from as far away as Buffalo and New York City. For 36 hours, young men from offices, factories, and farms marched, attacked, and defended in tactical exercises on the 100-miles the Army had leased for its war games. The maneuvers were judged to be most successful and the War Department purchased another 9,000 acres of land.

World War Two Expansion
With the outbreak of World War Two, the area now known as Pine Camp was selected for a major expansion and an additional 75,000 acres of land was purchased. With that purchase, 525 local families were displaced and five villages were eliminated. By Labor Day 1941, 100 tracts of land were taken over. Three thousand buildings, including 24 schools, 6 churches, and a post office were abandoned (Figure 4).

Contractors then went to work, and in a period of 10 months at a cost of $20 million, an entire city was built to house the divisions scheduled to train here. Eight hundred buildings were constructed; 240 barracks, 84 mess halls, 86 storehouses, 58 warehouses, 27 officers’ quarters, 22 headquarters buildings, and 99 recreational buildings as well as guardhouses and a hospital (Figure 5). Construction workers paid the price, as the winter of 1941-42 was one of the coldest in North Country history.

The three divisions to train at Pine Camp were General George S. Patton’s 4th Armored Division (Gen. Creighton Abrams was a battalion commander here at the time), the 45th Infantry Division and the 5th Armored Division.

Permanent Training Site
Pine Camp became Camp Drum in 1951, named after Lt. Gen. Hugh A. Drum who commanded the First Army during World War II. During and after the Korean Conflict a number of units were stationed and trained here to take advantage of the terrain and climate (Figure 2).

The post was designated Fort Drum in 1974 and a permanent garrison was assigned (Figure 7). In April 1980, B Company, 76th Engineer Battalion (Combat Heavy) was reassigned here from Fort Meade, Md. It was followed by the rest of the battalion, less Company D, three years later.

Figure 7. Fort Drum aerial in 1978 (Fort Drum).

In January 1984, the Department of the Army announced it was studying selected Army posts to house a new light infantry division. On September 11, 1984, the announcement was made that Fort Drum would be the new home of the 10th Light Infantry Division. The first division troops arrived at Fort Drum on December 3, 1984, and the unit was officially activated on February 13, 1985. The name was changed to the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) at that time. The division reached full strength in 1989. Between 1986 and 1992, 130 new buildings, 35 miles of roads, and 4,272 sets of family housing units were built at a cost of $1.3 billion (Figure 8).

Survey Results
The identification of historically significant properties can be achieved only through evaluation of their position within the larger historic context. According to the NRHP, historic contexts are defined as “…the patterns, themes, or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, property, or site is understood and its meaning (and ultimately its significance) within prehistory or history is made clear.”2 A historic property is determined significant or not significant based on the application of standardized National Register Criteria within the property’s historical context. This report contains a survey of buildings located at Fort Drum constructed by the United States Army between 1941 and 1994. The Fort Drum Real Property Officer provided a list containing 17 buildings to the survey team (see Table 1, page 2).

Criteria for Evaluation
The NRHP Criteria for Evaluation describe how properties and districts are significant for their association with important events or persons (Criterion A and Criterion B), for their importance in design or construction (Criterion C), or for their information potential (Criterion D). The following is a brief description of each of the four NRHP Criteria for Evaluation (excerpted from National Register Bulletin #15: How to Apply the Nation Register Criteria for Evaluation): A. Event—associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. Person—associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. Design/Construction—embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values, or that represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; or D. Information Potential—yielded, or is likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history.

Aspects of Integrity
In addition to possessing historical significance, properties must also retain sufficient physical integrity of the features that convey its significance in order to be eligible to the NRHP.3 Historic properties either retain integrity (that is, convey their significance) or they do not. Within the concept of integrity, the National Register criteria recognize seven aspects or qualities that, in various combinations, define integrity. To retain historic integrity a property will always possess several, and usually most, of the aspects. The retention of specific aspects of integrity is paramount for a property to convey its significance. Determining which of these aspects are most important to a particular property requires knowing why, where, and when the property is significant. Districts and individual resources are considered to be significant if they possess a majority of the following Seven Aspects of Integrity:4
Location

Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the historic event occurred.
Design

Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. It results from conscious decisions made during the original conception and planning of a property (or its significant alteration) and applies to activities as diverse as community planning, engineering, architecture, and landscape architecture. Design includes such elements as organization of space, proportion, scale, technology, ornamentation, and materials.
Setting

Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. Setting refers to the character of the place in which the property played its historical role. It involves

15

how, not just where, the property is situated and its relationship to surrounding features and open space.
Materials

Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property.
Workmanship

Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory.
Feeling

Feeling is a property’s expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular time period.
Association

Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property.

Determinations of Eligibility for Subject Buildings at Fort Drum
The overall time period for this report was from 1941 to 1994. From researching the construction dates of the applicable buildings, the overall time period was further divided into four eras of significance.

1. 2. 3. 4.

WW II 1941 to 1945 National Guard (Pine Camp and Camp Drum) 1946 to 1973 Army Garrison (Fort Drum) 1973 to 1983 10th Mountain Division 1984 to Present

All four periods of significance were utilized for this survey, depending on the particular building’s age and use. The findings of this report will be discussed under the two components of NRHP eligibility: Significance and Integrity. The construction dates of the 17 buildings surveyed were from 1941 to 1994.

16

ERDC/CERL SR-08-2

WW II 1941 to 1945
There are six buildings and structures that are from the WWII 1942 to 1945 Era (see Table 2). These are all temporary WWII buildings.
Table 2. List of Building from WWII 1942 to 1945. Building # 769 893 1388 1445 1877 1944 Year Built 1941 1945 1941 1941 1941 1941 Square Feet 1389 1734 296 7219 200 18407 Inventory Form Eligible for the NR NO NO NO NO NO NO Page Number 19 29 49 65 109 121

It is the finding of this survey that none of these six buildings and structures are individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under any of the National Register Criterions. For Criterion A—Event: World War II mobilization was a nation-wide effort that was a significant factor in the outcome of the war; training as part of mobilization was an important event not only for the army, but also for the nation as a whole. Pine Camp trained soldiers to fight in World War II (the primary mission of Pine Camp during the time period); however, none of these particular buildings and structures played a key role in their training. They were all support structures. For Criterion B—Person: None of the buildings and structures could be linked to a particular person important in our past. For Criterion C—Design/Construction: Pine Camp, as originally constructed, embraced the distinctive characteristics of a WWII mobilization temporary camp in design and construction. With a few exceptions, the few remaining permanent WWII resources are isolated examples of minor WWII building types. The buildings are dispersed throughout the cantonment and more recently completed buildings, structures, and parking lots impinge on the design and layout of the original cantonment and its associated buildings. They lack architectural embellishment, with the largest design element being evenly placed windows. (For a complete explanation of each building, please refer to its corresponding inventory form.) All six of these buildings fall under the Programmatic Agreement in the Appendix.

National Guard (Pine Camp and Camp Drum) 1946 to 1973
There are six buildings and structures that are from the National Guard (Pine Camp and Camp Drum) 1946 to 1973 Era (see Table 3).
Table 3. List of Building from National Guard (Pine Camp and Camp Drum) 1946 to 1973. Build -ing # 1255 1444 1454 1800 1943 1955 Year Built 1969 1969 1969 1963 1972 1972 Square Feet 4166 4166 4166 18407 5706 2563 Inventory Form Eligible for the NR NO NO NO NO NO NO Page Number 41 57 75 83 113 143

It is the finding of this survey that none of these six buildings and structures are individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under any of the National Register Criterions. For Criterion A—Event: Pine Camp and Camp Drum was not a permanent Army garrison during this period. It was only utilized for periodic training of National Guard and Army Reserve troops. None of these particular buildings and structures played a key role in any type of National Guard or Army Reserve training. They were all support structures. For Criterion B—Person: None of the buildings and structures could be linked to a particular person important in our past. For Criterion C—Design/Construction: None of these buildings are architecturally significant.

Army Garrison (Fort Drum) 1973 to 1983
No buildings were surveyed from this time period.

10th Mountain Division 1984 to Present
There are five buildings and structures that are from the 10th Mountain Division 1984 to Present Era (see Table 4).

It is the finding of this survey that none of these five buildings and structures are individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under any of the National Register Criterions. For Criterion A—Event: Fort Drum and the move of the 10th Mountain Division, although a significant event, is less than 50-years old. In addition, these particular buildings and structures were built to support existing buildings and structures from earlier eras. They were all support structures. For Criterion B—Person: None of the buildings and structures could be linked to a particular person important in our past. For Criterion C—Design/Construction: None of these buildings are architecturally significant .

HISTORY In 1908, Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant, son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was sent to the Town of LeRay area with 2,000 regulars and 8,000 militia. He found Pine Plains to be an ideal place to train troops. The following year money was allocated to purchase the land and summer training continued here through the years. Building 769 was originally constructed in 1941 as a single storehouse and company administrative building at a cost of $3,576. This structure was constructed of wood stud walls clad with wood siding, rolled roofing, wood double-hung windows, wood doors with four panes, a wood sliding door, exposed wood rafters, and metal ventilators. The building was constructed from a standard Army plan. The building has been modified over the years. The exterior was painted in 1957 and 1967. In 1977, metal channel siding were installed over the original wood siding. In 1983, the one-story building had interior renovations and the doors were replaced. The real property card also states that the windows were replaced at this time; however, the original six-over-six wood windows are intact. In March 1991, the category code was changed from 44270 to 14185 and then again in March 2004 to 17180; a National Guard readiness center. At an unknown date a 9’x10’ concrete block addition was constructed on the south elevation. INTEGRITY Building 769 is in poor condition and a majority of is original design and architectural features have been removed or modified. The original wood siding has been covered with metal siding. The original rolled roofing has been replaced with interlock asphalt shingles. The three original metal ventilators have been removed. The exposed rafters on the roof overhang have been covered with wood. The original wood doors have been removed and replaced with steel doors. The original wood sliding door on the north elevation has been removed and the opening has been filled in and a steel door has been installed. A small concrete block addition was constructed on the south elevation modifying the original footprint of the building. The original six-over-six wood double-hung windows are the only original feature intact. Exterior: Original Architectural Features six-over-six wood double-hung windows wood panel door with four panes wood siding rolled roofing wood sliding door metal roof ventilators Replacement Features ---steel door metal channel siding interlock asphalt shingles modified opening with steel door removed

DETERMINATION OF CONTRIBUTING/NONCONTRIBUTING STATUS It is the determination of this report that Building 769 is NOT eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) due to the lack of integrity. This building is not associated with a historically significant person nor does it have any unique architectural features that qualify it individually for the NRHP. Further, Building 769 is covered by the WWII Temporary Programmatic Agreement (see Appendix).

There is one replacement bright aluminum window on the left side of the elevation. The east elevation was not accessible. HISTORY In 1908, Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant, son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was sent to the Town of LeRay area with 2,000 regulars and 8,000 militia. He found Pine Plains to be an ideal place to train troops. The following year money was allocated to purchase the land and summer training continued here through the years. Building 1388 was originally constructed in 1941 as a sewage pumping station at a cost of $2,500. This structure was constructed of a concrete foundation, concrete block exterior walls, a concrete/built-up roof, six-pane steel windows, and wood doors. According to the original construction drawings (see below), Building 1388 was constructed as a mirror image. It was not constructed to the plans below. This building has been modified over time. At unknown date the original concrete block walls were clad with metal siding, the two wood doors on the north (front) elevation were replaced with steel doors, and the six-pane steel window was replaced with a bright aluminum window. In 1970, the built-up roof was replaced and in 1984, the exterior was repainted. In September 1998, the category code was changed from 89131 to 89120.

DATE: DECEMBER 2007 DESCRIPTION Building 1444 is located north of St. Lawrence Avenue, east of Fourth Street West, south of Ontario Avenue, and west of Fourth Street Middle in the 1400 block of South Post at Fort Drum, New York. It is currently vacant. Building 1444 is a large one-story structure that has two different roof heights. A shallow shed roof covers the onestory administrative/support area and a shallow gable roof covers the double-height maintenance shop area. Both roofs are covered with insulated metal sheets. This building has a square floor plan, metal siding, replacement single entry steel doors, original metal overhead garage doors, and original bright aluminum slider windows. The building has an approximate square footage of 4,166 square feet. The left side of the south elevation is where the double-height maintenance shop area is located and the right side is where the one-story administrative/support area is located. The south elevation of the double-height wall consists of an original metal overhead garage door. On the far left side of this wall an entry door opening has been cut into the exterior wall; however, the opening has been filled in with metal sheets. The south elevation of the one-story wall consists of a group of four original slider windows and an original steel entry door. The door has one small light and is protected by a shed canopy. The canopy is metal and supported by a metal pole. The west elevation is the double-height maintenance shop area. There is a large original metal overhead garage door located on the left side of the elevation and a single entry replacement door located on the right side of the elevation.

DESCRIPTION (continued) The left side of the north elevation is where the one-story administrative/support area is located and the right side is where the double-height maintenance area is located. The south elevation of the one-story wall consists of an original slider window and a steel door. This portion of the elevation is recessed from the right side of the elevation. The double-height wall consists of an original metal overhead garage door and a single entry steel door. The overhead garage door is located on the left side of the wall and the entry door is located on the right side of the wall. The east elevation is divided into two parts. The foreground of the elevation is the one-story administrative/support area, while the background of the elevation is the double-height maintenance area. The one-story wall does not extend across the entire elevation. It occupies the left portion of the elevation. The one-story wall consists of five evenly spaced original slider windows. The right side of the double-height wall consists of two original slider windows. HISTORY In 1908, Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant, son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was sent to the Town of LeRay area with 2,000 regulars and 8,000 militia. He found Pine Plains to be an ideal place to train troops. The following year money was allocated to purchase the land and summer training continued here through the years. Building 1444 was originally constructed in 1969 as a five-vehicle motor repair shop at a cost of $103,000. This structure was constructed of a concrete slab, metal siding, metal roofing, metal overhead garage doors, a metal entry door, and bright aluminum slider windows. The real property card states that the metal overhead garage door on the south elevation was replaced; however, it is similar to the other two overhead garage doors on the building. Therefore, it is uncertain if it was replaced or not. In April 1986, all three overhead garage doors were repaired. INTEGRITY Building 1444 is in poor condition; however, the majority of the original design and architectural features are intact. The original metal siding, metal roof, metal overhead garage doors, bright aluminum slider windows, and steel entry doors are intact. Exterior: Original Architectural Features steel entry doors metal siding metal roof (gable and shed) metal overhead garage door bright aluminum slider windows Replacement Features ----------------

DETERMINATION OF CONTRIBUTING/NONCONTRIBUTING STATUS It is the determination of this report that Building 1444 is NOT eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) due to the lack of significance. This building is not associated with a historically significant person nor does it have any unique architectural features that qualify it individually for the NRHP.

The building has concrete block exterior walls, original steel hopper windows with security grates, replacement steel exterior doors, replacement metal overhead garage doors, replacement fascia, and a tall concrete block chimney stack. A large concrete block addition has been constructed on the south side of the original structure with an approximate square footage of 2,900 square feet. This addition also includes a small 9’x8’ one-story concrete block appendage. The building has three different roofs. A flat built-up roof covers the one-story administrative/support area located on the north and west sides, a flat built-up roof covers the double-height maintenance area, and a flat built-up roof covers the large addition on the south side. The original building had an approximate square footage of 15,485 square feet; however, the addition increased the square footage to 18,407 square feet. The east and west elevations are the long sides of the rectangular footprint, while the north and south elevations are the short sides. The north elevation faces Ontario Avenue and is the one-story administrative/support area. Paired original steel hoppers windows are located on the left side of the elevation. A steel door is located to the right of these windows. Three original steel hopper windows are located to the right of the door. Double entry steel doors and another original steel hopper window are located on the right side of the elevation. Security grates cover all of the windows. The east elevation faces a paved parking lot. The left side of the elevation is where the large concrete block addition is located. This portion of the elevation consists of two steel hopper windows covered with security grates and a single entry steel door. The east elevation of the original building is dominated by eight large replacement metal overhead garage doors. The far right side of the elevation is where the one-story administrative/support area of the original structure is located. This portion of the elevation consists of a replacement single entry steel door and paired original steel hopper windows covered with security grates. The original south elevation of Building 1800 is covered up by the large concrete block addition. The south elevation of the concrete block addition consists of metal double doors and two large metal overhead garage doors. The small one-story concrete block appendage is located on the left side of the large addition. The left side of the west elevation is where the one-story administrative/support area is located and consists of five original steel hopper windows with security grates. A small metal lean-to vestibule addition has been constructed on the far left side of this portion of the elevation. To the right of this section is a taller area near the chimney stack. This portion of the double-height exterior wall consists of replacement metal double doors, an original steel hopper window with a security grate, a filled in window opening, and a chimney stack. The right side of the elevation is divided up into two parts. The foreground is the one-story support area and the background is the double-height maintenance area and addition. The one-story section does not extend across the entire double-height exterior wall. The one-story exterior wall consists of seven original steel hopper windows with security grates and a single entry replacement steel door. To the right of this section of the wall is where the small concrete block appendage is located and consists of a steel door. The right side of the west elevation is recessed from the rest of the elevation and is where the large concrete block addition is located. This portion of the elevation consists of three steel hopper windows with security grates. HISTORY In 1908, Brigadier General Frederick Dent Grant, son of General Ulysses S. Grant, was sent to the Town of LeRay area with 2,000 regulars and 8,000 militia. He found Pine Plains to be an ideal place to train troops. The following year money was allocated to purchase the land and summer training continued here through the years. Building 1800 was originally constructed in 1964 as a tank repair shop at a cost of $142,680. This structure had a one-story administrative/support area and a double-height maintenance area. It was constructed of a concrete slab, concrete block exterior wall, flat built-up roofs, metal overhead garage doors, exterior metal doors, steel hopper windows, and a concrete block chimney stack. In 1972, the original rectangular footprint was increased by 2,900 square feet when a large concrete block addition was constructed on the south side of the original structure. This addition added a paint spray room, a preparation room, and a battery room. Also at this time, a small concrete block appendage (9’x8’) was constructed to include a boiler room. This construction project was completed under project number 18474, contract number DAHA D39491, construction contract DAHA-30-70-C-0012-0013-0014-0015, and construction drawings 68/109-110-111112 at an approximate cost of $112,428.

HISTORY (continued) In 1986, partitions were constructed for office, tool room, parts and storage, and dispatch. In May 1990, the bay doors were repaired. In 1992, the interior of the motor pool bays and offices were painted. In 1994, the category code was changed to 21410. In 1995, two existing overhead garage doors were removed and replaced. At unknown date, the other six metal overhead garage doors were replaced. Also at an unknown date, an original steel hopper window on the west elevation was removed and the opening was filled with concrete block and a small metal lean-to addition was constructed near the entry on the west elevation. INTEGRITY Building 1800 is in poor condition; however, a few of the original design and architectural features are intact. The original concrete block exterior walls, steel hopper windows, and concrete block chimney are intact. The metal overhead garage doors have been replaced with newer garage doors, the original steel exterior doors have been replaced, and a large addition was constructed on the south side of the original structure. The addition altered the original rectangular footprint.

The overall building has a rectangular floor plan. The original structure is located on the south side and consists of concrete block walls, a shed roof covered with metal roofing, replacement overhead garage doors, replacement exterior doors, and original four-pane bright aluminum awning windows. The original structure has two distinct sections; a one-story administrative/support area and a double-height maintenance area. When the addition was constructed, the same type of metal siding used on the addition was installed on the top portion of the concrete block walls of the original structure. The large 3,200 square foot double-height addition is connected to the north side of the original structure and consists of metal sided exterior walls, a shed roof covered with metal roofing, metal overhead garage doors, and metal exterior doors. The original structure had an approximate square footage of 2,506 square feet; however, the addition increased that square footage to 5,706 square feet. The left side of the east elevation is where the original concrete block structure is located. The far left side of the elevation is the one-story administrative/support area. This portion of the elevation consists of an original four-pane bright aluminum awning window. The east elevation of the double-height maintenance area consists of two replacement metal overhead garage doors and a single entry replacement steel door. The right side of the east elevation is where the addition is located. This portion of the elevation consists of three large metal overhead garage doors and a single entry steel door. The original north elevation of Building 1943 is covered by the large addition. The north elevation of the addition has only a single entry steel door, which is located on the left side of the wall. The left side of the west elevation is where the addition is located. There are no window or door openings on this portion of the addition. The original structure is located on the right side of the west elevation. The double-height exterior wall consists of two original four-pane bright aluminum awning windows. The original one-story administrative/support area is located on the far right side of the elevation and there is one small bright aluminum awning window located on this portion of the elevation. The south elevation is the original one-story administrative/support area. There are two replacement steel doors located on the left side of the elevation and an original four-pane bright aluminum awning window located on the right side. HISTORY Building 1943 was originally constructed in 1972 as a motor repair shop at a cost of $111,608. This structure was constructed of a concrete slab, concrete block walls, a shed built-up roof, metal overhead garage doors, metal exterior doors, and four-pane bright aluminum awning windows. In 1972, the two original metal overhead garage doors were painted. In 1983, the concrete block exterior was painted. In 1988, the building was converted from 21410 to 44240. In September 1997, the original 2,506 square foot structure was enlarged with the construction of a 3,200 square foot addition under project number DAKF36-95C-0044. The addition was constructed as an uninsulated metal building with a reinforced foundations slab, three 12’x12’ motorized coiling doors, and two personnel doors. Also at this time, the two original metal overhead garage doors were replaced along with the original exterior doors. The modifications and upgrades done in 1997 were completed at an approximate cost of $210,011. In 2005, the category code was changed to 21410 vehicle maintenance shop.

DATE: DECEMBER 2007 DESCRIPTION Building 1944 is located north of St. Lawrence Avenue, east of Eighth Street East, south of Ontario Avenue, and west of Ninth Street in the 1900 block of South Post at Fort Drum, New York. It is currently used as a vehicle maintenance shop. Building 1944 is a large rectangular structure that consists a concrete foundation, metal siding, a gable roof covered with interlock asphalt shingles, replacement metal overhead garage door, replacement steel entry doors, and original six-over-six wood double-hung windows. The windows are covered with a mixture of bright aluminum storm windows and metal security grates. The building has an approximate square footage of 3,996 square feet. The south elevation is dominated by six replacement metal overhead garage doors. The right side of the elevation consists of paired original six-over-six wood double-hung windows, a single entry replacement steel door, and two replacement steel service doors. The windows are covered with bright aluminum storm windows and the single entry is protected by a gable roof canopy. There is a small metal louvered vent located above the service doors. The west elevation has four original six-over-six wood double-hung windows. The north elevation is dominated by original six-over-six wood double-hung windows. There are five sets paired windows on the right side of the elevations; however, two of the pairs are covered with metal or plywood sheets. There are three single windows located in the middle of the elevation and a single entry replacement steel door is located on the left side of the east elevation. The windows are covered with bright aluminum storm windows. The east elevation has two original six-over-six wood double-hung windows located on the right side of the elevations. These windows are covered with metal security grates. There are two metal louvered vents located in the gable end and a new galvanized metal vent stack is attached to the exterior wall. HISTORY Building 1944 was constructed in 1941 as a seven vehicle motor repair shop at a cost of $11,668. It was constructed of a concrete slab, wood stud walls clad with wood siding, a gable roof covered with rolled roofing, seven pairs of wood swing/hinged bay doors, six-over-six wood double-hung windows, wood entry doors, metal roof ventilators, and a detached metal and brick vent stack. In 1957 and 1971, the wood exterior was painted. In 1971, the original rolled roofing was replaced by troop operations with interlock asphalt shingles. More than likely at this time, the original metal roof ventilators were removed and replaced with the seven current metal ventilators. In 1983, the original wood panel and four-light entry door on the south elevation was replaced. More than likely at this time, a gable canopy was installed over the entry door on the south elevation. In 1985, the seven pairs of swing/hinged bay doors were repaired/replaced. In 1988, bright aluminum storm/screen windows were installed over the original windows and the exterior doors were replaced. In 1992, the original wood clad building’s appearance was altered when metal siding was installed. More than likely at this time, the far right bay on the south elevation was covered with metal siding reducing the capacity from the original seven bays to the current six bays. Then in 1996, the six paired original wood swing/hinged bay doors were removed and replaced with six commercial grade metal insulated overhead doors at a cost of $17,057. At unknown date, the original detached metal and brick vent stack located on the east side of the building was removed. The foundation is intact.
