Fort Leonard Wood Culvert and Flagpole: Historic American Engineering Record

Abstract

The culvert at the intersection of North Dakota Avenue and Illinois Avenue is part of a historic district of stonework that was constructed by German Prisoners of War during World War II. The district was determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Reconstruction of the intersection requires the demolition of the culvert stonework. This report documents the culvert in a similar style to the Historic American Engineering Record standard. In addition, this report also documents the flagpole constructed in front of the original Post Headquarters in 1941. This report satisfies Section 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended and will help Fort Leonard Wood in mitigation of these two historic resources.
