Stop 2 – Nowlan House and Morrow House (Quarters 12)
(Buildings 41014 and 41012)
As you look across the street from the museum, you will notice two styles of houses. To the left is Nowlan House, built in 1912, the first dual family house built for officers when the fort was being enlarged to a regimental size. The building is a wood and stucco structure, featuring an enclosed front porch that was once a screened sleeping porch used on hot summer nights. To its right, is Morrow House, the last of the single officer quarters to be completed in 1884, built primarily of adobe block.
As you continue along Grierson Avenue, you will notice that each house is named for a particular person of note in Fort Huachuca, Arizona Territory, or Signal Corps military history, though these houses were never the actual residences of any of those persons.
