"The discontiguous NCO housing area includes a row of seven, single-family dwellings (Buildings 136-142). The area is separated geographically from the original historic district by a ravine. Six of the buildings were constructed as NCO housing, while one structure originally was erected as a dwelling for the hospital steward. The six NCO houses are located in a line, while the hospital steward's quarters are sited slightly southeast of the row. All of the dwellings are small, one-story brick buildings supported by raised foundations. The buildings' standing-seam metal roofs exhibit an intersecting gable and hip design with a front gable orientation. The buildings incorporate minimal ornamentation. This ornamentation is limited to simple corbelled cornices and bay openings enlivened by segmental arches and stone sills. The principal elevation of each building includes a screened porch supported by brick piers. Current windows and doors are replacement units. Frame shed additions, sheathed with vinyl siding, are located at the rear of the buildings."
