“December 15, 1779 – The men of the Regt. Moved into their Hutts. The Officers Hutts were not yet finished for the Gen’l orders were for the officers to see their men Hutted first.” – Lt. Rudolphus Van Hovenburgh, 4th NY Regiment
Washington ordered that the officer’s huts be built last; after the soldiers had moved into their huts. While the soldiers were in their huts by Christmas 1779, some officers did not move into a hut until much later. Unlike the soldier’s huts, the officers’ huts did not have required dimensions.
Erected 2016 by National Park Service.
