| Additional Information: | 1998- Kewaunee USARC consists of two buildings (a training building and a vehicle maintenance shop) located on four acres of land (KE011) in Kewaunee, Wisconsin (Figure 50). The area immediately surrounding the buildings is covered by asphalt or concrete, except for an approximately one-half acre plot to the rear of the property. The land has been significantly altered by construction activities and grading for parking areas. The facility is located in a rural area. A records search conducted at the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office revealed two archaeological sites (47-KE-23 and 47-KE-24) within a one-mile radius of the facility. Kewaunee USARC property has been heavily disturbed by construction activities, with much of the facility paved or graded. An on-site assessment determined that there is a low probability of extant archaeological remains on the property. The maintenance shop is in good condition. It does not appear to have been modified since its original construction, and does not exhibit any significant architectural character or merit. The Organizational Maintenance Shop functions as a vehicle maintenance facility for Kewaunee County Memorial USARC. Constructed in 1961, it is a 1½-story rectangular building that rests on a poured reinforced concrete foundation and has concrete block walls faced with brick on the north, south, and east walls. A metal overhead-retractable bay door is located on the south wall and two metal pedestrian doors are located on the east wall. Two 36-light windows are located on the east wall and one 36-light window is located on the north wall. A low-pitch gable roof covers the structure. |
