    General Hancock's building program puts Building 18 among the thirteen houses around the green

    In 1878 the Army's Atlantic and Department of the East headquarters moved to the island under General Winfield Scott Hancock, who directed a third major round of construction. The most notable work was the group of officers' houses around the landscaped green now called Nolan Park. Building 18 is one of thirteen such houses built between 1878 and 1902. Several of them have quarter-sawn wood ornament.
