Prior to its destruction by the Confederates it served as the Secretary to the Commandants residence. In 1868 it resumed its duties as the Secretary's residence.[[Image:CAPTQUART2.jpg|thumbnail|left|Quarters 8 Circa 1950s looking North at front elevation.

Before the base closed for the first time in 1911 records show that the home was the residence of the Pay Clerk. From 1914, when the base was re-opened, to 1955 the home was used to house the Supply Officer and his or her family. Within a few years, however, it became the residence of the Chief of Staff for the Naval Air Basic Training Command, primarily a Captains billet. Today it is used primarily as a residence for any Captain stationed aboard NAS Pensacola.
===Quarters 7E, Quarters 7===
Constructed in 1939 as a garage for Senior Officers Quarters 7, Q-7E was among several support buildings added to the North Avenue neighborhood between 1920 and 1939. The Navy completed Q-7E during a period of expansion, in both facilities and personnel, at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola. Although not directly associated with the installation's mission, the garage contributed to the quality of life for NAS Pensacola's senior officers. Q-7E stands within the Pensacola Naval Air Station Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a designated National Historic Landmark. Q-7E is one of many buildings at the station that sustained damage by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004.
