All the buildings covered by this contextual overview are considered contributing resources to the Fort Benning Main Post Historic District. All of the buildings (fifteen) will be impacted by Army Transformation actions resulting from the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act of 2005. Fourteen of the warehouses in the Industrial Complex will be adapted to educational and administrative facilities, and one (Building 2962) will be demolished. Fort Benning's Cultural Resource Staff sought a HABS Level II recordation of Buildings 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 224, 259, 260, 336, 337, 490, 496, 497, and 2962 to mitigate adverse effects of converting these structures from industrial use to administrative spaces or from demolition. The combined written documentation and large format photographs fulfill the necessary recordation requirements for mitigation.
