DC Historic
Designs, LLC was contracted by Clark Realty Capital, L.L.C. to complete a
National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Commanding General’s
Quarters at Quantico Marine Base.
The Dutch
Colonial Revival-style house has served as the base commander’s residence
since its construction in 1920. The most notable resident was Maj. Gen.
Smedley D. Butler, who served as the base commander from 1920 to 1924 and
1929 to 1931. He was the most decorated Marine at the time of his death in
1940. Butler helped lead the way into the modern day Marine Corps. He
developed professional military education, Marine Corps aviation, and Marine
Corps’ doctrine for amphibious warfare.
