Summary

Significance: This building was designed by Holabird and Roche to serve as the Mess Hall with a side wing designed to house the central heating plant. It has served as a gymnasium, and in recent years, as the post exchange. It is one of the larger and more elaborate of the post's buildings and makes a notable addition to the comprehensiveness of the surviving 19th century building stock at Fort Sheridan.
