Abstract
Throughout its history the United States Army has struggled to maintain a sufficient inventory of houses, in terms of both quantity and quality. In an effort to address this situation, the Army privatized housing. This thesis examines the impact of privatization on the Armys historic houses. The question this thesis answers is, how has the privatization of Army family housing affected the preservation of the Armys historic houses? To answer this question, the thesis will analyze the preservation processes and inventory of historic houses at two Army forts, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and Fort Benning, Georgia.
