Officers' Quarters Overlooking Parade Field, U.S. Army Post, Philippines, c. 1930s

A row of spacious officers' quarters, built in the tropical colonial style with deep verandas and hipped roofs, overlooks a parade field at a U.S. Army post in the Philippines. Housing like this reflects the settled, family-oriented garrison life that characterized American military service in the islands before World War II. Project: 218617
