Building 12 replaces wartime temporary buildings in the last big construction campaign on Governors Island
In the late 1920s and early 1930s the Army carried out the final major building campaign on Governors Island. Thirteen permanent buildings, including Building 12 and the huge barracks Building 400, replaced temporary structures put up during World War I. Many stood on the landfill next to the original shoreline, laid out symmetrically across the island's center. This address is one of the sections of Building 12.
“Buildings 12, 111, 112, 114, 301, 315, 324, 330, 333, 400, 515, 550, and 555 were built within the historic district during this period…”
