Officers' Quarters, Building 48-49

USA / California / Sausalito /
 house, historical building

This double officers' quarters was built in 1869 to expand the Civil War era facilities at Camp Reynolds. Although always occupied as an army structure, this building reflects domestic architecture of the second half of the nineteenth century in its form, porches, and plain but fashionable detailing. This structure housed two officers of equal rank while giving the appearance of a single family dwelling. Numerous changes indicate continual adaption for use by army personnel. 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.
