'''Quarters A''' is a stately three-story building located along [[Center North Avenue]] on [[Naval Air Station Pensacola]]. This eight bedroom home dates back to [[1826]], when it was first built as the primary residence of the Commandant of the [[Navy Yard]] and his family. In January 1827 a letter from Pensacola was written to the ''Charleston Courier'' that said, "The Navy yard here progresses but slowly; they are, I am told, building (a) home for the Commandant." It was burned by the evacuating [[Confederate] forces in [[1862]], leaving only the brick kitchen wing, and was rebuilt in [[1874]]. The original cost of construction was $27,932.08.
