  1. 1878

    Building 8 is one of nine officers' houses the Army builds around the green in 1878

    Building 8 was completed in 1878 as half of a pair with Building 10, two-family quarters for company officers facing the green that is now Nolan Park. Eight other units of the same kind went up in the same year, Buildings 6, 7, 10 and 14 through 18, all following the form of the older Buildings 4 and 5. The landmarks report ties the building boom to the island's new role as an Army headquarters.
