Quarters A, Brooklyn Navy Yard
Quarters A, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Federal period residence in Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn, United States.
The three-story wooden building features original Federal period details including leaded entry windows, carved wooden paneling, and traditional clapboard exterior design.
Constructed in 1805 under architect Charles Bulfinch's direction, the house served as the residence for Brooklyn Navy Yard commandants through multiple military periods.
The residence holds particular importance through its connection to Commodore Matthew C Perry, who directed naval operations from this location between 1841 and 1843.
Access to the building requires entering through a gated drive at the intersection of Little Street and Evans Street in the Brooklyn Navy Yard complex.
The structure maintains its position on an elevated area overlooking the western section of Brooklyn Navy Yard, near the East River waterfront.
