Commissioned Officer's Quarters, U. S. Army, Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, Coren Apartments
Carlisle Barracks, an Army garrison dates back to the American War of Independence. Most of the buildings were burned by Confederates troops during the Civil War. The building in the photograph was constructed sometimes after the Civil War for officer's quarters. The garrison closed in the late 1870s and the grounds and some facilities were used by the Carlisle Indian Industrial School from 1879 to 1918. During the Indian School days, the building held offices for a time but primarily served as a dormitory for teachers. After the Indian school closed, army nurses resided in the building. From 1920 to 1946, officers lived there. In 2015, the building contains five military apartments.
