Officer's Mess and Canteen

There was a wide gap between officers and the rank and file. This was particularly pronounced in larger military installations. Officers had better accommodations than the enlisted soldiers. They enjoyed better located and higher quality canteen/recreational facilities than the common soldiers. These buildings were often called a Casino. The name indicates that the facility was used for many types of recreational activities. The building was later used as a barracks for officers. The foundation walls/basement remain. Along the road there are also remnants of the foundations of a smithy and workshop.
