The quarters were built in 1874 in the Italianate style. Three-storied, the tan brick home with a hipped roof and belvedere is encircled by a two-tiered screened veranda. The previous Commandant's Quarters, built on the same site in 1826, was burned by the Confederate Army in 1862. The quarters are on the National Register of Historic Places.
