20. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL IMPORTANCE:
This important component of the historic Fort Terry complex
has been unsympathetically altered by the addition of an
inappropriate window. However, other original architectural
features remain. As a guest house for military officials,
this building contributes greatly to the historical sig-
nificance of the fort compound. It was probably occupied
by the commanding officers who trained the military units
sent to Plum Island for the various coastal defense oper-
ations. This was one important role of Fort Terry in the
intricate Harbor Defense system.
