This barracks was built in 1897 to support the expanded operations. The building, a duplicate of the barracks built in 1891, was built to hold 60 men. Enlisted men spent their free time in a number of ways. They often visited the Post Exchange across the street to go to the gym, bowling alley, or play cards.
Today, this building contains the offices of the Yellowstone Center for Resources.
