Fort Dodge Junior Officers' Quarters Feasibility Study
2018. Fort Dodge Junior Officers' Quarters Feasibility Study. Kansas Historical Society; Ben Moore Studios; Davis Preservation; Ford County Historical Society
From the Methodology: "For this report, the Ford County Historical Society, with Federal Historic Preservation Funds from the Kansas State Historic Preservation Office, hired consultants to evaluate the feasibility of preserving one of the fort's original buildings, the Junior Officer's Quarters. In order to evaluate the feasibility of historic preservation, we believe it is necessary to evaluate the significance of the building within the context of the historic fort complex. To that end, in this report, we aim to provide a succinct history of Fort Dodge within the context of other frontier forts, explain the development of the fort over time, document the history and evaluate the physical condition of the Junior Officers' Quarters, identify prospective uses for the building, and explore the feasibility of possible reuses." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Kansas Historical Society administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P18AF00077).
