Fort Sam Houston, Officers' Quarters, 11 Staff Post Road, San Antonio, Bexar County, TX
Summary
Significance: One of the first fifteen officers' quarters constructed of similar but varying design on Post, built in the early 1880s, the quarters represents the Post's earliest effort to provide housing for officers and their families. Designed by local architect Alfred Giles, this limestone ashlar residence possesses a more distinctive regional quality in comparison to the later quarters built from plans originating in the Office of the Quartermaster General.
