Across the street are two barracks built in 1929, accommodating approximately 15 men in the smaller one and 350 men in the larger one, for the combat engineers and regimental artillery. The barracks on the right now serves as a recovery home for wounded combat veterans, while the building on the left is for military personnel working at DFAS and includes armed forces recruiting centers.

We will turn right here, then make the first right on Wheeler Rd., passing on our left the former Army Adjutant Corps and Defense Information training building, which is now an Ivy Tech Community College site.
