"f 1. HISTORICAL AND ARCHITE=CTURAL IMPORTANCE:
This building is an important component of the historic Fort
Terry complex. A nearly identical building was located in Fort
H.G. Wright, Fishers Island (demolished 1975) . This brig is
located at the central intersection of the Fort Terry com-
pound and contributes greatly to the layout of this historic
group of military buildings. Architecturally, it is a largely
intact example of a standard, pre-WWI Army design. Untill
recently, this building housed the Mice Colony of the Plum
Island Animal Disease Center. Its unique role in the field
of animal research adds to its historical significance.. Plans
are underway to convert it into a research library..
