Case Study: HISTORIC LIMESTONE

FORT RILEY
KANSAS

Fort Riley, Kansas is located one hundred thirty miles west of Kansas City, Missouri. The US Army installation has responsibility for the maintenance and protection of approximately two hundred-ninety historic structures, all of which contribute in some way to the significance of the three Fort Riley Historic Districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Virtually all of Fort Riley’s historic structures are in active use and require continuous maintenance and rehabilitation. The historic limestone stain removal research contract, for which the following is a report of findings and recommendations, was created by JCSI with the purpose of helping Fort Riley meet these daily maintenance requirements within the constraints set forth by the National Historic Preservation Act.
