U.S. Army Treasure with Historic Connections

For over one hundred years, Quarters One has been home to the illustrious military leaders who safely guided our Nation’s defense.  It presents a fascinating look at a unique residence with historic connections, built over two hundred years ago in historic surroundings at Fort Meyer, Virginia.  Through interesting illustrations and vignettes, this resource captures the rich sense of history and tradition that pervades this fine National Historic Landmark, and serves to honor Army families everywhere. 
Their guests have been equally famous, including Marshal Joseph Jacques-Césaire Joffre, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, President Lyndon B. Johnson, and, a favorite entertainer of generations of Soldiers, Bob Hope. Many past residents have left their mark in subtle and profound ways on Quarters One.
This rich heritage, which is beautifully illustrated, received its due recognition in 1973 when Quarters One was designated a Registered National Historic Landmark.
Audience: U.S. citizens with interest in the U.S. Army residences, military members, military buffs, military historians, historic architecture students, interior designers, historic landmark visitors, and others may be interested in this glimpse into Army families' life through this historic residence.
