As many as 185 homes are on the chopping block in Fort Leavenworth. These properties include grand, gabled homes and multi-family barrack housing for soldiers, dating back as far as 1919.
The reason given for their proposed demolition is due to raising costs to maintain them. Originally only 89 homes were proposed, that number has now shot up to 185 historic homes all located within the National Historic District of Fort Leavenworth.
