| Additional Information: | 1998- he Wausau USARC consists of two buildings located on four acres of land. The area immediately surrounding the buildings is mostly covered by asphalt or concrete, with an area of mature White Pine trees. A majority of the land has been heavily disturbed by construction activities; however, the pine tree areas appear undisturbed. The facility is located in an urban area. Wausau USARC consists of a training building and a vehicle maintenance building (Organizational Maintenance Shop or OMS in Army Reserve terminology). The buildings are in good condition and do not appear to have been modified since their original construction. Neither of them exhibit significant architectural character or merit. The maintenance building functions as a vehicle maintenance facility for Wausau USARC. Constructed in 1958, it is a rectangular, 1½-story building that rests on a poured concrete foundation and has concrete block walls with a brick veneer. Brick pilasters are located around the perimeter of the building. Two metal overhead-retractable bay doors are located on the west wall. A shed roof covers the structure. |
