Volume 2, Fort Sam Houston Maintenance and Repair Plan: Infantry Post

Year: 2003

Summary

Of all the posts at Fort Sam Houston, none is more complex stylistically than the Infantry Post. This complicated assemblage of stylistic influences is typified in the design of Long Barracks and Band Barracks, and is discussed in more detail later in this text. Less difficult to interpret are the post’s kitchens, mess halls, and latrines which were executed in a simplified form of the Colonial Revival style. The Colonial Revival style, also known as Georgian Revival, is an adaptation of the English and Dutch colonial styles that originated in the late 1800s and continued to develop through much of the 1900s.
