three enlistment barrack buildings to which the architects took great pain
creating a building where meetings can be held, a building for dining, wine
tasting, cooking demonstration and a full service bar, the last building being
the registration for the resort all with the charm of the turn of the century
woodwork. All of the historical buildings have a magnificent view/s of the
Golden Gate Bridge. The millwork material used in the converted officers
buildings were primarily paint grade, very little cabinet work in these
buildings, when used the new cabinets were designed, built and installed to fit
the charm of the turn of the century style. Restrooms for the suites received
paint grade beaded wainscot paneling with base board and chair rail. Vanities
