Memorandum, Section 106 Coordination of Undertaking to Demolish Building 293, Fort Sam Houston

Summary

Building 293 was built in 1910 and is located within the National Historic Landmark District at Fort Sam Houston. The Programmatic Agreement lists this building as a Category 3 resource of minor historic importance. (AR 420-40) Building 293 may not individually meet the National Register criteria for eligibility but it contributes to the significance of the Landmark District and adjacent Category I and II resources.

The above referenced building is well known to the Texas State Historic Preservation Office and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. As recently as 5 Feb 91, this building was the subject of a formal three-party coordination under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This action outlined an undertaking to selectively remove nonhistoric components from the building's original form. Both Agencies concurred in FSH's Section 106 determination of "No Adverse Effect" which constituted a go ahead for the undertaking as specified.

Fort Sam Houston may proceed with the undertaking as coordinated under Section 106 having met its responsibilities under the NHPA and the Council's CFR 36, Part 800.
