Across [[Central Avenue]] (a brick walk-way, closed to traffic, that is perpendicular to North Avenue) and buried amongst 200 plus year old oak trees, is a large two story building that served as the [[Commandant's Offices]]. Today it is used as the VIP Visiting Officer Quarters, and has held many dignified guests including President George Bush and various other visiting Heads of State, both international and domestic. |
