The most prominent and important historical building on Fort Benning is the old Post Headquarters and Infantry School.  Built in 1935 by a nationally known architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White.  It was Post Headquarters from 1946 to 1964 and served all functions of the Infantry School from 1935 – 1964.  After Bldg 4 assumed its former duties in 1964 it became administrative offices for DPW and others.  Later it housed WHINSEC.  Presently it is the in-processing and out-processing center of Fort Benning.
