Additional Comments
This barracks was one of 43 identical 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 barracks were constructed in the former Cavalry camp (400 area) in the location of the former concrete tent floors. The drawings for the barracks were prepared by John J. Flad & Associates, and Mead & Hunt, Inc., Architects and Engineers, Madison, Wisconsin, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District. Drawings of the barracks buildings dated 1955 indicated that the buildings were standardized for permanent training sites. Examples of these barracks also were documented at Alpena CRTC, Michigan.

The one-story, concrete-block building rests on a concrete slab. Concrete piers are located at intervals along the long elevation walls. The exterior is refinished with exterior insulation finish system. The original band of four-light windows located under the eave was removed and replaced with horizontal cedar siding. Current windows are metal-frame, awning units. The continuous concrete sill is covered with metal. The gable roof is sheathed in composition shingles with metal sheathing on all eaves. Two, gable-roofed, enclosed, projecting vestibules were added to one long elevation of the buildings. The doors are metal units with single lights. Alterations to the building occurred during phased projects that occurred between 1991 and 1996 to reconfigure interiors, to add heating and indoor plumbing, and to upgrade the exterior of the building for year-round living quarters.
