Other Markers at Washington Navy Yard Pertaining to the Civil War: Second Officer's House

From HMdb.

SECOND OFFICER'S HOUSE.

The second Officer's House or Quarters B is believed to have elements of an 18th century farmhouse.  This structure was erected as a two-and-a-half story Federal style brick house late in 1801.

It escaped destruction when the British invaded Washington, D.C., in the War of 1812 in 1814 and was substantially altered and enlarged in the later 19th century.  It was used as barracks for Union troops during the Civil War, but returned to its original function as home of the Yard's second ranking officer after the war.

Most recently it has been occupied by the Senior Flag Officer  stationed in the Washington area.
