Notes
  • Significance: The Senior Officer's Quarters Historic District is significant at the local level for its association with the early development of military facilities on the West Coast. The period of significance is 1900-1947. Although short-lived as a training station (1898-1923), Yerba Buena Island was essential in the establishment of a modern American naval presence on the West Coast. 1 of 4 such facilities, Yerba Buena Island quickly became a key naval training station while it operated, and continued to play an important role in the military presence on the island after its re-designation as a "Receiving Ship" in 1923. The Senior Officer's Quarters Historic District represents the major nexus of the historic building stock on the island and is significant for its association with the establishment of the Navy training station and its role during the WWII-era "Receiving Ship." Additionally, the district is significant as an example of the Classical Revival style, popular in the Bay Area during the 1890s and prevalent in late 19th and early 20th century officer's quarters throughout the armed services.
