1894
Building 407 goes up as one of the second pair of brick officers' houses
Building 407 was completed in 1894 as a double house for Army officers on Regimental Row. It belonged to a group of six brick houses facing the island's southwestern shoreline, built to standard Quartermaster General plans. Along with Building 408, it was in the second pair of the group to be constructed.
“Buildings 407 and 408 were the second two houses to be constructed.”

1936
The south half of Building 407 is remodeled and its porch enclosed
Between 1936 and 1938 the Army completely remodeled Quarter 407B, the south half of this double house, rebuilding and enclosing its entrance porch. The result is a sun-porch, which sets the south side apart from the north entrance, where the original slender-columned porch survives. An attached brick garage had been added in 1931.
