Quarters 1 (Rock Island)
Quarters One (also known as Building 301) is the residence of the highest-ranking officer on the Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi River. At 51 rooms and 21,965 square feet, Quarters One is the second-largest federal residence in the United States, behind the White House.
== History ==
Work begun on Quarters One by General Thomas S. Rodman in 1870 and was completed in 1872 by Major Flagler. The home was built for the purpose of providing quarters for the highest-ranking officer as well as providing space for official gatherings and functions. The building was designed in the Italianate style. The first major gathering held in the residence was in 1871 for the funeral of General Rodman.〔 Over the years, many dignitaries and notable personalities stayed at the residence including Charles Lindbergh in 1927〔 and King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia of Sweden in 1996.〔 In 2006, the Army decided to discontinue its use as a residence. Tours are offered occasionally, and the Army is currently exploring other uses for the building.
