Summary

This letter and its two attached reports concern observations made in June of 2005 at Building 4193, Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Geo-Marine, Inc. (GMI), and its consultants, Mr. Joe Freeman (Historic Architect) and Jaster-Quintanilla (Structural Engineers), were asked to evaluate the structural and architectural conditions of the building, its integrity, and its potential for reuse in an administrative or similar function. This evaluation includes consideration of building code requirements, floor load requirements, accessibility, and the property’s historic status.

Building 4193, built in 1941, is one of a collection of World War II-era warehouses located outside of the National Historic Landmark District and Conservation District at Fort Sam Houston. However, the building is recognized as eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places under National Register Criterion A (historical significance).
