FIGURE 18. Officer's Quarters and Detention Camp. August 28, 1917.
Note: The Officer's Quarters (Building 8, built in 1905), still stands today and can be seen when exiting
from the westbound direction of the SFO Bay Bridge. The actual purpose of the Detention Camp is
unknown, but it did contain 384 tents. The plank road begins at Building 8 and proceeds uphill to the
Lighthouse Reservation (Camp Paul Jones) where it ends.
