Quarters 1, also known as Building 1, is a historic officer's quarters located at Fort Monroe, Hampton, Virginia. The original section was built in 1819, and consists of a three-story, central block, double pile residence with flanking, two-story wings in the Federal style. The northern wing, containing a large kitchen and cistern below, was erected as a separate building in 1823 and later connected to the main building in 1871. The 1871 connecting structure includes an octagonal solarium. The front facade features two-story porches, with carpenter Gothic railings, that were added during the last quarter of the 19th century. The interior features an elliptical staircase and an elliptical dome.[3]
The building was designed as a residence and headquarters for Fort Monroe’s commanding officer.[3] It served as headquarters of Fort Monroe from 1819 to 1907.[4] It served as the quarters used by Abraham Lincoln while planning the attack on Norfolk during the American Civil War[5] Fort Monroe was decommissioned on September 15, 2011.[6]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
