Sign for Officers Quarters
Photographer: James Nuti
Taken: April 11, 2011
Caption: Sign for Officers Quarters
Additional Description: Camp records indicate that officers as well as enlisted men lived in stockaded tents, that is, structures with vertical log walls and canvas roofs. This building, currently known as the “Officers Quarters” may have been constructed in 1880 when the Camp Rucker building program was underway, however no documentation has been found to verify it. The structure had been built by 1896 as indicated by an inscription in the doorway.
