Letter from Michael J. Grizer to Mark Wolfe, Renovation to Quadrangle East Wing for Fort Sam Houston Museum, Fort Sam Houston, Texas

Author(s): Michael J. Grizer

Year: 2011

Summary

Joint Base San Antonio Fort Sam Houston (JBSA-FSH) is proposing to renovate the east wing of the Quadrangle as home for the Fort Sam Houston Museum. Constructed in 1876, the Quadrangle (building 16) and the Clock Tower (building 40) are both landmarks listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The museum is currently housed in an inadequate facility that includes too little space for displays as well as improper climate control for preservation of the numerous artifacts the museum displays and stores. Housing the museum in the Quadrangle has the additional benefit of the museum being easier to find as the Quadrangle is already a destination point for visitors to Fort Sam Houston.
