Fort Sam Houston, Military Post of San Antonio, Company Barracks & Band Building, 603-610 & 613 Infantry Post Road, San Antonio, Bexar County, TX

Significance: Buildings 603-610 and 613, constructed between 1886 and 1887, represent the Army's earliest efforts to provide adequate housing for the enlisted men assigned to the Military Post at San Antonio. The row of two-story, attached company barracks with central, three-story sallyport forms an impressive eastern boundary for the horseshoe-shaped development now known as Infantry Post. This row of barracks, designed by noted local architect, Alfred Giles, has most recently been used for miscellaneous post offices.
