U.S. Naval Air Station, Captain's Quarters, Cistern, Q-8 North Avenue, Pensacola, Escambia County, FL

Significance: The Quarters 8 Cistern is a rare and relatively unaltered example of a pre-Civil War structure at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola. The cistern is associated with the daily life of Quarters 8 (HABS FL-219) and is, in its own right, a good example of nineteenth-century building and engineering practices at NAS Pensacola. Along with the brick kitchen wing of Quarters 8, the cistern is on of a few structures that survived the Civil War destruction of the navy yard and is a tangible link to southeastern section of NAS Pensacola, within the boundaries of the Pensacola NAS Historic District, which was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

Survey number: HABS FL-219-A
