Guardhouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunma University Kiryu Campus (Kiryu City, Gunma, Japan). Built in 1915.

guardhouse (also known as a watch houseguard buildingguard boothguard shacksecurity boothsecurity building, orsentry building) is a building used to house personnel and security equipment. Guardhouses have historically been dormitories for sentries or guards, and places where sentries not posted to sentry posts wait “on call”, but are more recently manned by a contracted security company. Some guardhouses also function as jails.

Modern guardhouses

In 21st century commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental, or residential facilities, Guardhouses are generally placed at the entrance as checkpoints for securing, monitoring and maintaining access control into the secured facility. In the case of small to mid-sized facilities, generally, the entire physical security envelope is controlled from the Guardhouse.

One of the general orders of a sentry in the United States Navy and Marine corps is to “Repeat all calls more distant from the guardhouse than my own.” Guardhouses thus serve as central communications hubs for outlaying sentry posts, being where the Corporal of the Guard is stationed.[3] When sentries are relieved by their replacements, the sentry stationed at the Guardhouse, designated “No. 1”, is conventionally relieved first.[4][5]

Modern guardhouses are manufactured with welded, galvanized steel construction by a guard-booth manufacturer such as Par-Kut International, Inc. Portable buildings are insulated, include heat and light, have 360 degree visibility, and can also be bullet resistant. These guardhouses keep security guards comfortable as well as secure.

Historical guardhouses

The Hyakunin Bansho (former guard house) inside the former Imperial Palace, Edo Castle) was manned by 100 samurai.

Graveyard Guardhouse introduced in the 1800s to prevent body-snatching

In the Fortress of Louisbourg in the 18th century, Guardhouses were where sentries were stationed to eat and sleep between periods of sentry duty at the 21 sentry posts around the town. The town had five Guardhouses (the Dauphine Gate, the townside entrance to the King’s Bastion, the Queen’s Gate, the Maurepas Gate, and the Pièce de la Grave), and whilst not sleeping sentries would be “on call” from those Guardhouses at need.

In the Guardhouse at Fort Scott National Historic Site, typical funishings for guard quarters included benches, tables, shelves, a platform bed for the men resting between assignments, arms racks, a fireplace or stove, and leather buckets (used for firefighting – another duty of guards). Prison cells were unfurnished, containing simply a slop bucket and iron rings on walls for the attachment of shackles.[7]
