  • Significance: The second of the two-company barracks constructed on the post. Defines the southeast end of the oval parade ground opposite Officers Row. Completed March 31, 1904, from QMGO Plan No. 75-H. Original cost: $45,631. Two and one-half story frame structure on rock-faced sandstone and brick foundation. H-shape in plan, main building dimensions: 151' x 39', north and south wings: 39' x 43'. Lapped cedar siding. Asphalt shingles on gabled roof replace original slate shingles. Full-width front porch has Tuscan columns, pipe railing, and asphalt shingle roofing. Two-over-two double-hung sash and "Palladian" windows in attic gables. Gravity system ventilators along ridges of wings. Mirror image interior designed to house two companies. Some first floor embossed metal ceilings remain exposed. Electricity replaced mineral oil lighting ca. 1910, two coal-fired steam boilers in basement now converted to oil, north wing considerably refinished and partitioned (served as headquarters until 1975), kitchens completely dismantled, over 50 percent of original metal or plaster ceilings covered with acoustical tile or gypsum board, original wooden floors covered with composition tile.
