A central core of buildings, eight large enlisted barracks (252' by 22') and three large two story officer barracks (90' long), housed the garrison. The central core was surrounded by the support buildings and the stables. Each set of four enlist barracks faced a separate long parade while the three officer's quarters were positioned at the head and foot of the parades. | First established in May 1812 on a 400 acre site purchased by the government for training [[War of 1812]] troops.
