What is a guard house? In the 21st century, for commercial, industrial, governmental, or residential facilities, guard houses, also known as guardhouses, guard booths or guard shacks 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 guard house.
Guard House
Historically, in the United States Navy and Marine Corps, guard houses serve as central communications hubs for outlying sentry posts, being where the Corporal of the Guard is stationed. In addition, a guard house is sometimes referred to as an on post jail for the detention of military personnel guilty of minor offenses or awaiting court-martial.
