The billeting space provided by Fort Monroe had great historic significance. The building, known as "Quarters #1", was built in 1819 and during the Civil War hosted a visit by President Lincoln. In the photo below AGFA members assemble in front of the building on Sunday morning prior to heading to their respective stations.

Quarters #1 also hosted the AGFA annual dinner and association meeting. The photo below shows the majority of our members in their Class A uniforms of the period (WWI or WWII).
