It was built in 1943 with a small detached garage/maid's quarters behind it.","why_significant":"It is one of only two single-family dwellings built at the naval air station under wartime austerity conditions, and one of 30 resources from the original 1943 construction. It housed the base's second-in-command until the base closed in 1993. Its significance rests on its association with the World War II naval auxiliary air station, at the local level under Criterion A.","narrative":"Quarters S is a one-story house on Essex Street at the former NAS Chase Field near Beeville, Texas. Built in 1943 during World War II, it served as the residence of the Executive Officer, the second in command at the naval air station, until the base closed in 1993. The wood-frame house has an irregular plan, galbestos siding, a low hipped roof with asphalt shingles, and double-hung 6/6 windows. One wing is set at a 45-degree angle to the main block, and the house is larger than the Commanding Officer's residence. A small garage and maid's quarters stands behind it. Robert & Company, an Atlanta firm with a Corpus Christi branch, is believed to have designed it, and Brown Bellows & Columbia of Houston built it. It is one of only two single-family houses built on the base under wartime austerity and one of 30 surviving original resources. It was recognized for its military associations and its largely unaltered condition.","period_of_significance":"1943-1945","architect_builder":"Robert & Company/Brown Bellows & Columbia","architectural_style":"No Style","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Listed as vacant/not in use as its current function; described as in good condition and minimally changed since 1943.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.100648-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/83/9681/40968183/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/94000056.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968183","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000911"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/bee-county/nas-chase-field-quarters-s-94000056/"}
