Notes
  • Significance: Building #37 is one of a few quarters illustrating the residential development of the West End Parade ground in the late 1880's. The West End Parade after the establishment of the Infantry and Calvary School was used for drills and exercises of troops by student officers. The establishment of the school necessitated additional housing. In order to build additional quarters, the Army requested money from Congress, the full appropriation requested in 1888, was not approved but enough was allocated to erect some buildings, including five officers quarters along Thomas Avenue. The two double and three single quarters were sited on the east side, of the west parade ground. Architecturally, Building #37 illustrates the transition from the irregular massing and compartmental plan of late nineteenth century design to a more controlled and unified composition. The interior of the residence shows the early development of open planning and the combination of living room and stairhall, both characteristics of the so-called Shingle Style.
