barracks, historical building
The Officers’ Quarters was one of only four original buildings still standing when Fort Snelling’s restoration began in the 1970s. But, the 1846 building had changed a lot throughout the years. The existing stone building had twelve sets of quarters, each consisting of a parlor, bed chamber and a kitchen in the cellar. It housed officers, their families and servants and replaced the first wooden quarters. Its porch, which originally wrapped around each end of the building to the parade ground, now stretched only along the back. In 1903, a second story and expansive porch was added. The building, its exterior covered with yellow stucco and a red-slate roof, reflected the popular Spanish-mission style of architecture. The redesigned building, now with only six quarters, was continuously occupied until 1975.
