Notes
  • Significance: Camp Reynolds was established on Angel Island in 1863 to enhance the coastal defenses of San Francisco Bay during the Civil War. In 1866 Camp Reynolds became the army's general depot for receiving and distributing new recruits in the West. From the 1860s through the 1880s a village of wood frame buildings including a chapel, officers' quarters, barracks, and various support structures was constructed and expanded. Now part of Angel Island State Park, Camp Reynolds features a remarkable collection of surviving late nineteenth-century army structures.

This officer's quarters dates to the 1870s expansion of Camp Reynolds. It is representative of four identical structures built along officers' row on the south side of the parade grounds. Although always occupied as an army structure, this building also reflects civilian domestic architecture of the second half of the nineteenth century in its tall gable front form, porches, and detailing. Changes to the structure indicate continual adaptation for use by army personnel. As single family "cottages," these four quarters originally housed the post surgeon and three captains, relatively high ranking officers. Construction of more modern officers' quarters at the East Garrison in the mid-1910s and years of hard use reduced the status of this structure to quarters for non-commissioned officers in 1931.
