Constructed in 1937 as a non-commisioned officers' community club at Fort Winfield Scott, Building 1299 exemplifies an eclectic style at the Presidio.

Some unique buildings at the Presidio stand alone as the only representatives of their type. The United States Coast Guard Life Saving Station, built and managed by the Coast Guard, was designed in the Coast Guard's traditional Dutch Colonial style and is the only example of its kind at the Presidio. The Protestant Main Post Chapel is the only building designed in the thickly decorated Spanish-Colonial Revival style. There are also buildings that defy definition, like Fort Scott's log cabin, with its playful use of building materials, or the small Funston Avenue cottage topped with a large mansard roof. These buildings were probably a whimsical result of the mixing and matching of standard building plans with local styles.

Building 1092, today on the bay shore at Crissy Field, was constructed in 1890 as the Coast Guard commander's quarters. Its architectural stye is unique at the Presidio.
