The north wing of the Old Barracks. The wings were separated at the end of the 18th century to extend Front Street up to the newly-built Capitol Building. It was split into several residences and businesses. The building to the far right was the original Officers' House and was used throughout the years for a variety of purposes, including the Mayor’s Residence,
​a school, and for a short time, a brothel.

​The replica was designed in an H-shape, with wings off the rear of the building, while the original was U-shaped. They also chose to use white stucco rather than stone, considered to give the overall building a more "domestic" look.
