Notes
Survey number HABS MA-1256-Y
Significance: The Ward Room has retained its integrity of location, setting, materials and workmanship. It was built specifically for troops in World War II, a major event in the country's history. It is also a good example of a World War II "Temporary" building constructed according to a standardized plan and, although altered, is one of the few remaining examples of its type. In addition, the Ward Room was part of a coastal reservation during the final period of coastal fortifications and as such, contributes to the Fort Taber National Register District, which is significant because it "is representative of the development of American coastal fortifications from the revolutionary period through the mid-20th century."
