| Additional Information: | 1998- The Fond Du Lac USARC consists of two buildings on a 2.93-acre parcel of land. The area immediately surrounding the buildings has been significantly altered by construction activities and grading for parking areas. The facility is located in a residential area. The facility consists of a training and administration building (this entry) and an Organizational Maintenance Shop (AHI #0139879). The OMS has been modified, but the training building does not appear to have been significantly modified since its original construction. The buildings are in good condition but have no significant architectural character or merit. The training building functions as an administrative and drill facility for Fond du Lac USARC. Constructed in 1988, it is an irregular-shaped building consisting of a one-story, rectangular, administration section and a 1½-story drill hall. The building rests on a poured concrete foundation and has concrete block walls with a brick veneer. Stringcourses run along the top of the windows and along the base of the windows. A recessed entrance with glass pedestrian doors is located on the northeast wall. Additional entrances include metal pedestrian doors and a metal overhead-retractable bay door on the northwest wall. Five sets of two casement windows and five sets of four casement windows are located on the northeast wall. Flat roofs cover the structure. |
