"Buildlng 13, completed in 1894, was a 2-1/2-story structure except the kltchen area in the rear of the buildlng, whlch was one-story. The buildlng was designed for nine bachelor offlcer quarters and two offlcer family quarters. The upper half story was originally used for sleeping quarters. A small one-story addition was constructed on the south side of the building in about 1918. A 2-story lean-to was constructed along the entire north side of the building in 1940. In 1959 it was determined that the upper half story of the main bulldlng was no longer adequate for sleeping purposes and its use was discontinued. The building is now used as Bachelor and Visiting Officers Quarters. It consists of slx apartments, a main dining room, a kitchen, a reading room, and a billiard room. Although the six apartnents will sleep eight people, two of the bedrooms are inadequate for use as bachelor or visiting offlcer quarters due to the slze of the rooms and the lack of a sufficient number of bathroom" - Historic district nomination.

This building is located on an active US Air Force Base. Access to the base is restricted and is easiest accessed by active duty, retired, or reserve service members or while accompanied by an individual in that status. Occasionally there are other times when the base has more open status during the year for various events.
