Improvements: Tentative Sketch of the Clock Tower Complex, including Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan Halls, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas
This three-part building complex of the Headquarters of the Commander, Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, links the names of three great American generals, Sherman, Sheridan, and Grant, all strong advocates for professional military education, with the mission of the Army's senior tactical school, the Command and General Staff College. In this early 20th-century design, the elegant new addition, Grant Hall and Clock Tower, connected two older buildings, Sherman and Sheridan Halls, originally built in 1859 as plain arsenal storehouses. To align all three parts of the building, Sheridan Hall, on the right, had to be raised 10 feet. This new design included a segmental dome, pediments, cornices, moldings, porches, and other enhancements to create a stylish and dignified facade for the home of what was then called the Army Service Schools.
