Hamilton Field, Base Commander's Quarters, 299 Casa Grande Real, Novato, Marin County, CA
Summary
Significance: The base commander's residence, Field Officers' Quarters Type B, is the largest of the permanent housing units and is the only one of its type on the base. It was built in 1934 and has always been used to house the base commander. The quarters were equipped with all the modern amenities available at the time they were built and were architecturally unique in the military system. The building is significant as an example of the application of an important architectural trend (Spanish Colonial Revival) adapted to reflect California's mission heritage in a dramatic departure from traditional military architecture.
