HISTORY OF OFFICERS' QUARTERS NO. 2   Construction began on Officers' Quarters No. 2 in 1845 and was completed in 1848. This building was essentially the same in material and architecture as Officers' Quarters No. 1. Officers' Quarters No. 2 was occupied by the military until the1853 abandonment of the post. It sold at the public auction for $300.00 dollars in 1855 and was purchased by Hiero T. Wilson, former post "sutler." Wilson occupied one-half of the duplex and Samuel Williams occupied the other half of the duplex. During the Civil War, Mr. Wilson continued to occupy the Wilson half and Union officers on the Williams half. Wilson offered the building for sale in 1873, but may have continued to live in the structure until his death in 1892. At that time Charles Goodlander(husband of Elizabeth Wilson: daughter of Hiero Wilson, the former post sutler) purchased the property. In 1901, one-half of the structure was deeded by Goodlander as the Goodlander Home for the Children. The Home purchased the other half of the structure and maintained the institution in that structure until 1958. At that time, the ground floor was leased by the Women's Business and Professional Association as a meeting room. The upper floors were unoccupied. The building was donated by the city to the National Park Service in 1978.   1900-1910 era front view of Officers' Quarters No. 1 with alterations. 1900-1910 era Officers' Quarters No. 1 and Officers' Quarters No. 2.
