Officers Quarters, Washington Navy Yard

The Officers Quarters consist of fifteen residences distributed across eight brick buildings, each identified by a single letter designation from A through Q.

Built in stages during the early 1800s, these quarters survived the 1814 Burning of Washington and continued to house naval commanders through multiple military campaigns.

The residences reflect the hierarchy and traditions of naval life, with specific buildings designated for different ranks such as the Commandant, Naval Constructor, and Marine officers.

The quarters now include modern amenities, updated accessibility features, and sustainable systems while maintaining access through the National Museum of the United States Navy.

The renovation incorporated wood flooring made from salvaged Navy piers, connecting the building's present state to its maritime heritage.
