The Officers' Row Historic District is a National Historic District in Bremerton, Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[2] It represents the industrial function of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard Shore Facility.
Built between 1896 and 1913, the buildings were constructed to provide adequate housing for the officers responsible for the shipyard and industrial area. Officers' Quarters A, B, C, D and E were designed by the Seattle architectural firm of Chamberlin and Siebrand in 1896. This established the dominant architectural style in the shipyard. The homes form a line along the bluff overlooking the yard. As new quarters were needed, they were added into the line.
Features
Each home has approximately five bedrooms. Architectural features include ornate lintels, oak hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, wooden porches and pillars.[3] The homes are maintained by Hunt Companies, the Navy's housing contractor.[3]
