Building 64

Building 64 stands as a rectangular structure featuring plain architectural elements on the eastern side of Alcatraz Island, facing the San Francisco Bay.

The structure served as residential quarters for prison staff members and their families during the federal penitentiary period from 1934 to 1963.

The residential building represents a different perspective of Alcatraz Island, showing how families maintained normal lives adjacent to a maximum security prison.

The National Park Service maintains Building 64 as part of the Alcatraz Island tour circuit, allowing visitors to explore its interior during regular hours.

Building 64 remains one of the few structures on Alcatraz Island that maintained its original residential purpose throughout different administrative changes.
