The Army builds Building 409 as bachelor officers' quarters on Regimental Row
Building 409 was completed in 1910 as quarters for unmarried officers. It anchors the northern end of Regimental Row and faces Hay Road. By then the southern houses of the row were finished and the new landfill project was well underway. It is larger than the one- and two-unit houses nearby but shares their form and detail, and its full-length two-story porch is the feature the report singles out.

Building 409 is a Colonial Revival house of brown brick with a two-story porch
Building 409 is a two-and-a-half-story Colonial Revival house of brown brick over a limestone foundation, T-shaped in plan with a slate hipped roof and dormers. A two-story wood porch spans the whole west facade, with square posts below and Tuscan columns above. Garages were added to the north and south sides in 1931, and brick posts later replaced some of the wood ones at the porch center.
