Building 244

This building is located within the fort’s National Historic Preservation District as part of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) complex. Originally constructed in 1904 as the bachelor officers mess hall, our team worked carefully to rehabilitate the building, bringing it up to current codes through restoration work while maintaining its historic nature.
