Rogers & Poor design a neo-Georgian family house for officers of the 16th Infantry
Building 111 was put up in 1934 with its mirror image, Building 112, to house officers of the 16th Infantry and their families. The architects were Rogers & Poor, and the pair grew out of the plan by McKim, Mead & White for expanded facilities on the island. The commission notes that the neo-Georgian style matched other contemporary buildings there and was popular on military bases of the period.
