Quarters 1, also known as the Nimitz Residence, was the commandant's and later the Flag Officers' residence. The district also includes gardens designed in the 1930s by landscape designer Lucille Woolpert. The excerpt does not state the criteria or the period of significance.","narrative":"Senior Officers' Quarters Historic District occupies about an acre on a hilltop above East Point on Yerba Buena Island, north of Interstate 80 and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. It contains eleven contributing resources: Quarters 1 through 7, three ancillary buildings (83, 205 and 230), and interrelated landscape elements, built between 1900 and 1944. The group sits on the island's largest flat, buildable area, which served as its main housing complex. Quarters 1, completed around 1900, is a three-story Classical Revival residence with a Doric portico, solariums and a central-hall plan. Also called the Nimitz Residence, it housed the Naval Station commandant until 1945 and Flag Officers afterward until 1997. Quarters 2 through 5 are similar three-story, clapboard-clad houses finished in 1900 and 1901. During the 1930s the Navy beautified the island, and landscape designer Lucille Woolpert designed the gardens behind the quarters. The district reflects the island's long role as a Navy station.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Quarters 1-5 served as officers' quarters until 1997; the form lists current functions as single-family dwellings, secondary structure and landscape.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:29.533725-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/08000085.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000085/fcf22022a7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000085/fcf22022a7-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"William b.
