    The Army builds Building 6 as a two-family house for company officers at Fort Columbus

    In 1878 the Army put up Building 6 facing the green that is now Nolan Park, a wood-frame house with two apartments for company officers. It was built as a twin of Building 7. That same year Fort Columbus took on two headquarters at once, those of the Department of the East and of the Army's Military Division of the Atlantic, and the added staff increased demand for officers' housing.
