This building served Fort Clark from 1939 to 1944 and was named "Dickman Hall" after career cavalry officer, Maj. Gen. Joseph T. Dickman (1857-1927). The ground floor housed a lunge, dining room, tap room, kitchen, guest room, maid's room and four rooms for visiting officers. The second floor held a spacious ballroom. The two-story building has a main hipped roof with gable roofed bays flanking a central arched portico entrance. A webwall stone veneer clads frame and clay tile construction. The building later became guest ranch headquarters and then a restaurant and lounge for the Fort Clark Springs Association.
