Fort McCoy, Building T-635, Sparta, Monroe County, WI

Significance: Building T-635 is of interest historically as a nearly unaltered example of a mess hall at Fort McCoy. One of 172 such buildings erected at the cantonment, the 635 hall illustrates the setting in which enlisted men ate their meals and food was prepared, served, and stored. Architecturally, Building T-635 depicts one of five variations available in the 800 Series of standard plans for mess halls. The designs could be expanded or contracted depending on the size of the units using the halls.
