Additional Comments
1998-
The Beloit U.S. Army Reserve Center consists of 2 buildings on approximately 3.6 acres of land. The buildings include a training and administration building (this entry) and an Organizational Maintenance Shop (AHI #).

The training and administration building, constructed in 1962, is a single-story rectangular building set on a foundation of poured reinforced concrete. The walls are built of concrete block with a polychromatic brick veneer - the lower third being a lighter colored brick than the top two-thirds.

The building has a low-pitched, end gabled roof. A brick chimney protrudes from the mid slope of the roof toward the rear of the building.

The building has six sets of double-hung, aluminum sash windows on the side elevations. The main facade features three- and four- panel windows.

2017 - Resurveyed

The William J. Huempfner Army Reserve Center includes two resources. AHI #138659 is a one-story, Contemporary-style building constructed in 1962 that has been used for training and administrative purposes. It has a broad, Ranch-like form; low-pitched, side gable roof; and polychromatic brick exterior with stone veneer accents at door and window openings. The entrance is recessed within an off-center front gable projection on the east-facing façade. Windows on the façade and side elevations are aluminum-framed and consist of four rectangular lights stacked vertically. The other building on the property (AHI #138660) is a garage and vehicle maintenance shop with a side gable roof, polychromatic brick exterior, and large rolling overhead door.
