Home of the Commandants is a historical book by Edwin H. Simmons that chronicles the official residence of the U.S. Marine Corps Commandant. It was published in 1995 by the Cadmus Publishing Group on behalf of the Marine Corps Association. The book details the history of the Commandant's House at Marine Barracks Washington (located at 801 G St. SE, Washington, D.C.). Constructed in 1806, it is the oldest continuously occupied federal residence in the nation's capital. Edwin Howard Simmons (August 25, 1921 - May 5, 2007) was a United States Marine Corps brigadier general. He was a career officer who served in combat during three wars - including landing at Inchon and fighting at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War. He was renowned as the official Marine Corps historian, being called "the collective memory of the Marine Corps". His 1974 book The United States Marines: A History is a seminal reference text Patrick Joseph Leahy (born March 31, 1940) is an American politician and attorney who represented Vermont in the United States Senate from 1975 to 2023. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the president pro tempore of the United States Senate from 2012 to 2015 and again from 2021 to 2023. Leahy was the third-longest-serving U.S. senator in history at 48 years. The oldest continually active post in the Marine Corps, the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks and the Marine Corps Commandant's House represent the important role the Marine Corps has played in the defense of the nation since the early days of the Republic. The site became the headquarters of the Marine Corps in 1801. Troops quartered at the Barracks played significant roles in the wars with the Barbary pirates, the War of 1812, the capture of John Brown at Harper's Ferry, and the conquest of Cuba in the Spanish-American War. It continues to serve, as the official home of the U.S. Marine Band, which has long been the official band of the President of the United States. The Commandant's House is the oldest standing public building in Washington with the exception of the White House. In 1800, the Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Stoddard, ordered that the newly-organized U.S. Marine Corps (which originated from the Continental Marines of 1775) be headquartered in Washington, DC. Along with President Thomas Jefferson, the second US Marine Corps commandant, Lt. Col. William Ward Burrows decided on a tract of land near the Washington Navy Yard because of its short marching distance to the U.S. Capitol. George Hadfield, an English architect who had served as Superintendent of Capitol Construction, submitted the winning plans. The Barracks would be arranged in a quadrangle format with buildings surrounding a central, rectangular parade ground. Marines performed much of the construction work themselves. During the War of 1812, Marines from the Barracks held back the British in Bladensburg, Maryland, delaying the enemy's advance into the Capital. The British burned many important public buildings in the city. The Marine compound escaped unscathed. In 1820, when Archibald Henderson moved into the Commandant's House, he also ushered in a new era of Marine Corps history. Henderson required that every new officer of the Corps be stationed for a time at the Barracks, where they could receive training under his supervision. The Marine Band had always been popular, playing for every President since John Adams, but it had not been reco. Kate Stark (Dust Jacket front cover photograph) an (illustrator). Signed.…
