Commandant's Quarters, Renaissance Revival residence at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, USA.
The three-story painted brick building features an off-center square tower, slate-covered gable roof, bracketed eaves, and bay windows at the naval complex.
Constructed between 1874 and 1875, the Commandant's Quarters served as the residence for naval officers until 1960 at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
The residence represents the architectural standards of naval leadership housing during the late 19th century at the first United States Navy shipyard.
The building occupies 0.2 acres of land and underwent modifications in 1901 with the addition of a porch to enhance its structural functionality.
In 2021, city officials proposed transforming this former naval residence into a shelter facility to address housing needs in Philadelphia.
