Additional Information: | The building was built as a shared bathhouse/latrine to support the forty-man barracks constructed in 1956 during the expansion of Volk Field CRTC into a permanent training site for use by Air National Guard units. The drawings for the bathhouse were labeled Bathhouse from Gulfport Municipal Airport, Mississippi, which was another permanent training site. The one-story building is constructed of concrete block on a concrete slab. The hipped roof is sheathed with composition shingles and has a ridge ventilator. The overhanging eaves are sheathed with metal. A single door that replaced double doors is located in the north elevation. Paired metal doors are located in the east elevation. The windows are modern, metal-frame, sliding units. The current appearance of the building is the result of renovations that occurred during the mid-1990s. |
