Liggett Hall, Georgian Revival barracks on Governors Island, United States.
Liggett Hall extends 1,023 feet across Governors Island, featuring red brick walls, multiple cupolas, and a central sally port through its middle section.
Constructed in 1929 by McKim, Mead & White architects for $1,086,000, the building housed the 16th Infantry Regiment from its completion until 1941.
The structure's design reflects the military architectural standards of the interwar period, incorporating elements from World War I regimental barracks layouts.
The building connects the northeastern historic district to the southwestern section of Governors Island through Liggett Terrace, a multi-use public plaza.
The construction of this massive barracks prevented the development of an airport proposed by future New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia.
