This mitigation is being completed under Army Alternate Procedures. 1 Jaeger Company and Southern Research, Fort Benning Historic Resource Survey Update, (Prepared for the U.S Army Infantry Center Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Management Division, FORT BENNING, LAWSON ARMY AIRFIELD, FIREMAN S BUNKROOM HABS No. GA-2392-K (Page 2) Part I. Historical Information A. Physical History 1.

Date of erection: Real Property Records indicate a construction date of however, drawings from the Post Engineer Office labeled Sketch of Proposed Quarters for Lawson Field Alert Crew are dated August 3, (See Appendix A).2 2. Architect: The building was designed by the Office of Constructing Quartermaster, Fort Benning, Georgia. No individual architect has been identified. 3. Original and subsequent owners, occupants, uses: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has been owned by the United States Department of the Army since its construction in It was originally constructed as quarters for the Lawson Field Alert Crew during World War II.

At the conclusion of World War II, a new fire station (Building was constructed adjacent to Building Building 319 was converted to the bunkhouse for firemen serving the new station. An older fire station (Building which was located north of the Air Corps Double Hangar (Building was converted to the Lawson Field Alert Crew quarters. 4. Builder, contractor, suppliers: The construction of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building was overseen by the Office of Constructing Quartermaster at Fort Benning, Georgia. The building was constructed of interlocking terracotta tiles, likely manufactured by the Denison Interlocking Tile Corporation which had a plant in nearby Columbus, Georgia (See Appendix B). 5.

Original plans and construction: One set of construction drawings dated August 3, and labeled Proposed Quarters for Lawson Field Alert Crew was produced by the Post Engineer Office. These drawings indicate the building s plan as it exists today including windows, vents, doors, and the hallway extending from the northwest corner (See Appendix A).3 The building was constructed as part of the expansion of Lawson Army Airfield during World War II. Additional maintenance plans from were produced by an architectural and engineer firm for the Directorate of Engineering and Housing for Fort Benning.

These plans indicate the same floor plan as is shown in the construction plans and the existing 2 Fort Benning Post Engineer Office, Drawing PEA-116, Fort Benning Post Engineer Office, Fort Benning, Georgia, August 3, Viewed at Fort Benning Cultural Resource Office. 3 Ibid.

The plans also depict the bathrooms and a recreation room in the hangar that are accessed by the hallway on the northwest corner of the building (See Appendix A).4 6.

Alterations and additions: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has undergone very little alteration since its construction in The few alterations include window removal, door replacement, and replacement and installation of mechanical equipment such as heating, cooling, and lighting. It has undergone no additions since its construction. A photo of the building taken ca. and an undated historic photo show the same overall plan and exterior appearance (Appendix C, Figures 1 and 2). B. Historical Context Fort Benning is located in Chattahoochee, Marion, and Muscogee Counties, Georgia and Russell County, Alabama. Prior to the establishment of Fort Benning, the area was occupied by a number of Native American Tribes for at least years.

The Muscogee Creek Indians were the most recent tribe to occupy the area in and around Fort Benning. A portion of the land on which Fort Benning is now situated was owned by the Bussey family and operated as a plantation until it was sold to the United States Government in A farmhouse, home of the Bussey family, remains standing and has been used by the base for the entire succession of Post Commanders over the years. Fort Benning, first known as Camp Benning, was established in as the new location for the reorganized Infantry School of Arms which had moved from Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Camp Benning was first established eight miles to the north of the city of Columbus. It was moved to its present location in due to the more spacious terrain better suited to the camp s needs.

It became a permanent post and was renamed Fort Benning in When Camp Benning was established in an air landing field was established at the present location of Lawson Army Airfield with the purpose of housing an air balloon unit for assistance in infantry operations. The airfield was used occasionally by airplanes in the and but was primarily utilized as the base for Army balloon operations until the unit moved in In its early years, the airfield had only a landing field and two small hangars (Buildings 303 and where the balloons were housed. In several years after Fort Benning became a permanent post, the airfield was named Lawson Field in honor of Captain Walter R. Lawson, who was from Georgia and was killed in a plane crash in Ohio.

In a large Art Deco/Bauhaus-style double airplane 4 Stanley L.

This building is referred to in the survey update as the Air Corps Double Hangar (Building and is considered to be contributing to the Lawson Field Historic District.6 In response to use of paratroopers by the Germans in the early years of World War II, the U.S. Army Airborne school was established at Lawson Field in with the first official U.S. Army parachute jump from an airplane taking place at Lawson Field in August of After initial training the platoon moved to New Jersey to train on steel towers.

The success of the test platoon led Fort Benning to purchase two steel towers which formed the training grounds for the airborne school which was permanently established at Fort Benning by the spring of In addition to the early establishment of the airborne school, Lawson Field grew substantially during World War II as did the rest of Fort Benning. According to the survey update, significant amounts of permanent and semi-permanent construction added to the Main Post and surrounding areas during the World War II period. 7 Several of these semi-permanent or even temporary buildings have remained standing and were converted to other uses after the war.

Among the permanent buildings were the Fire Station (Building and the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building originally constructed as quarters for the Lawson Field Alert Crew.8 When the U.S. Army Air Force became the U.S. Air Force in Lawson Field became the Lawson Air Force Base (Appendix C, Figure 3). In response to the Korean War, the airfield was improved with longer and higher capacity runways to support new and heavier planes. In the U.S. Air Force left Lawson Air Force Base and the Army once again took possession of the airfield, renaming it Lawson Army Airfield (Appendix C, Figure 4). In the early the Army s helicopter air assault program began at Fort Benning. The Air Assault Division was formed to test air assaults from helicopters.

While the soldiers and headquarters were based at Kelley Hill, many of the helicopters and equipment were stored at Lawson Army Airfield.9 Since the Lawson Army Airfield has continued its use as a training facility for Army airborne missions. Several employees of the airfield are civilians that provide flight management services, aircraft 6 John Brent, et. al., Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan, Fort Benning, Georgia, (United States Army, United States Army, Fort Benning Historic Trail, Webpage, accessed February 18, MilitaryBases.us, Lawson Army Airfield, Webpage (Sun Key Publishing Company) accessed February 22, Jaeger Company and Southern Research, Fort Benning Historic Resource Survey Update.

The building was originally constructed to house the Lawson Field Alert Crew as indicated by the drawings (See Appendix A).11 Alert crews at Army airfields became popular in World War II.

The alert crew would be made of up airmen who could quickly respond to emergency airfield operations such as loading or unloading unscheduled departures and arrivals of military aircraft. In addition, the field alert crew would be able to assist in landing and quickly dispatching aircraft in an emergency. These alert crews and their quarters became common at airfields in World War II. The quarters were always located as close as possible to the runway to allow for immediate response by the crew.12 The drawings from indicate room for sixteen beds and a stove for heat (See Appendix A).13 The Fire Station (Building was constructed in as a permanent solution to housing fire trucks and equipment at the airfield.

Prior to the construction of Building the airfield had been serviced by a wood frame fire station (Building located north of the Air Corps Double Hangar (Building When the new fire station (Building was constructed, Building 319 was converted to use as a bunkroom for the firefighters of the newly established Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) department. The department was made up of civilian firefighters who occupied the new fire station. The former fire station (Building was converted to the new quarters for the field alert crew as is indicated in the Fort Benning Building Locator Book.14 The real property record cards with records from the through the indicate continued use of the building by the civilian firefighters.

Part II. Architectural Information A. General Statement 1. Architectural Character: The Firemen s Bunkroom (Building is a contributing resource to the National Register-eligible Lawson Field Historic District. It was constructed in a similar style to other buildings built at Fort Benning and Lawson Field in the and with a load-bearing terracotta tile structure.

The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building can be best described as a vernacular building, as it exhibits no particular academic style. One of the most significant architectural features of the building is the interlocking terracotta tile which was likely sourced from the nearby Denison Interlocking Tile Corporation manufacturing facility in nearby Columbus, Georgia (Appendix B). The tile is covered in stucco on the exterior, which was common for masonry buildings on the base. The window openings feature brick sills on the exterior. The side-gable roof and flat roof over the hallway features exposed 2 x 6 rafter tails (Appendix D, Figure 1). 2. Condition of Fabric: The building is in fair condition overall but has suffered from some neglect in recent years.

The exterior appears to be in fair condition with the exception of some stucco damage and rot in the window frames. The interior of the building appears to have some water damage to the concrete and stucco on the walls, particularly around the window openings (Appendix D, Figure 2). The roof and roofing materials appear to have been replaced in the last decade and are in good condition. B. Description of Exterior 1. Overall Dimensions: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has an overall rectangular exterior plan. It is 50 -0 long by 17 -4 wide with a 10 -0 long hallway extending from the north side and connecting the building to the Air Corps Double Hangar (Building (Appendix D, Figure 1). 2. Foundations: The building rests on a poured concrete foundation.

FORT BENNING, LAWSON ARMY AIRFIELD, FIREMAN S BUNKROOM HABS No. GA-2392-K (Page 7) 3. Walls: The exterior walls of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building are constructed of load bearing, interlocking terracotta tile. This tile is likely Denison interlocking tile which was manufactured in nearby Columbus, Georgia in the first half of the twentieth century (Appendix 2). These tiles are coated in stucco on the exterior.

The entire exterior is painted in a cream or light beige color (Appendix D, Figure 1). 4. Structural System: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has a poured concrete foundation. The walls are constructed of interlocking terracotta tile which was likely sourced from the Denison Interlocking Tile Corporation manufacturing facility in nearby Columbus. Denison interlocking tile, as featured in the edition of Sweet s Architectural Catalogue, was suitable for constructing both load bearing and partition walls. The tiles have a T-shape which allows the tiles to interlock. The entry from the catalogue is attached in Appendix 2. The building has a side gable roof formed by 2 x 6 rafters which are spaced approximately 22 apart. Ceiling joists are not visible. 5.

Porches: There are no porches on the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building 6. Chimneys: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has no chimneys. 7. Openings a. Doorways and Doors: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has two entrances. The main entrance is located on the south fa ade and consists of a replacement metal door framed by simple 1 x 4 wood trim. There is a single concrete step leading up to the entrance (Appendix D, Figure 1). The secondary entrance is located on the west fa ade of the hallway extension on the northwest corner of the building. It is also a replacement metal door framed by 1 x 4 wood trim. b. Windows and Shutters: All windows on the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building have been removed and the window openings have been boarded (Appendix D, Figure 1).

The survey update and photos indicate that only two windows were not removed. The two remaining windows in were wood, double-hung sash windows in an eight-over-eight pattern.17 There are four boarded window openings on the south fa ade, four on the north fa ade, and two on the east fa ade, and two on the west fa ade. These window openings all measure 44 wide x 54 tall. The windows have painted brick sills. There are no shutters on any of the window openings. 17 Jaeger Company and Southern Research, Fort Benning Historic Resource Survey Update. FORT BENNING, LAWSON ARMY AIRFIELD, FIREMAN S BUNKROOM HABS No. GA-2392-K (Page 8) 8. Roof a. Shape and Covering: The main block of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has a side-gable roof. The roof is clad in composition asphalt shingles.

(Historic photos indicate the building originally had composition roll roofing.) There are no chimneys in the roof. The eaves feature exposed rafter tails, the rafters being 2 x 6 boards which are spaced approximately 22 inches apart. The hallway extending from the northwest corner has a flat, built up roof. The eaves on the flat portion also feature exposed 2 x 6 rafter tails. b. Cornice: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has exposed 2 x 6 rafter tails spaced approximately 22 apart. c. Dormers: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has no dormers. C. Description of Interior 1.

Floor Plans: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has an overall rectangular plan with a rectangular hallway extending from the northwest corner to connect the main block to the Air Corps Double Hangar (Building The rectangular block is 50 -0 long x 17 -4 wide (Appendix D, Figure 3). The hallway is rectangular and is approximately 10 long x 5 wide. The hallway is accessed by replacement metal door at the northwest corner of the main block. 2. Stairways: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building contains no stairs. 3. Flooring: The floor of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building is poured concrete with no floor covering. There are ghost marks left from previous tile flooring. 4.

Walls and Ceiling: The interior walls of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building consist of interlocking terracotta tile coated in concrete and stucco. The stucco and concrete have suffered water damage which has caused cracking and falling from the terracotta tile (Appendix D, Figure 2). This damage is more prominent around the window openings. The ceiling consists of drywall and has one opening, allowing attic access. The ceiling joists are not visible from the opening. 5. Openings: There are two doorways on the interior of the building. One doorway is located on the northwest corner of the bunkroom and accesses the hallway. It has a replacement metal door and metal trim.

The second doorway is at the north end of the hallway and accesses the bathrooms which are located in the Air Corps Double Hangar (Building There is no door in this doorway, and it is not framed with any trim or other material. The window openings have been boarded from the outside. FORT BENNING, LAWSON ARMY AIRFIELD, FIREMAN S BUNKROOM HABS No. GA-2392-K (Page 9) Some window openings have treated lumber around the sill and frame which was likely placed in the openings after windows were removed. Some window openings allow a view of the terracotta interlocking tile and the concrete and stucco wall covering (Appendix D, Figure 4). 6. Decorative Features and Trim: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building has a few decorative features, none of which are particularly significant.

These features include the exposed rafter tails, rusticated stucco, and brick sills at the window openings. There is plain wood trim around the exterior and interior doors. 7. Hardware: No original hardware remains on the interior of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building 8. Mechanical Equipment: On the exterior of the building, one small alarm bell is visible on the southeast corner of the building in the eave. Mechanical equipment inside the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building includes modern and historic HVAC equipment, modern lighting, and electrical outlets. D. Site 1. Historic Landscape Design: The Fireman s Bunkroom (Building is part of the much larger Lawson Army Airfield landscape.

The immediate landscape around the building consists of the Air Corps Double Hangars (Building the Control Tower (Building the Fire House (Building and the runways and taxiways (See Appendix E). Surrounding the building is both asphalt paving, concrete walkways, and some grassy areas. A small enclave with a walkway and canopy is formed by the east side of the Fire House, the west side of the Fireman s Bunkroom (Building and the south side of the Air Corps Double Hangars.
