Historical Note: The
buildings that were first constructed on the barracks were envisioned
as temporary quarters. Over the years, some permanent buildings
were added to the barracks, but many of the old buildings were
still being used as late as 1905. These "portable" buildings were
pressed into service as officers' quarters, despite pleas from
the commissioner to construct new buildings.
