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 recognized by law until 1861. In the post-Civil War era the Marine Barracks witnessed a significant epoch in American musical history when John Philip Sousa the "March King" served as its leader between 1880 and 1892. During this time Sousa composed national hits such as "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "Semper Fidelis." The Marine Band remains the official White House musical unit. From 1891 to 1903 the Barracks saw another period of growth in the Marine Corps. Commandant Charles Heywood began emphasizing new military tactics and expanding Marine Corps responsibilities. The growth of the Marine Corps changed the function of the Barracks. Early in the 20th century the Marine Barracks underwent extensive renovation. The 2-story brick Commandant's House is the only structure remaining of the original barracks complex. Other structures on the old grounds erected between 1904 and 1907 include a barracks building a band hall and a row of five officers' quarters. The Barracks' function has become increasingly ceremonial. At present the post consists of the Commandant's House the headquarters of the Marine Band and a contingent of Marines who perform various ceremonial duties at the White House Arlington National Cemetery and elsewhere. The Commandant's House and the campus serve as a testament to the growth and expansion of the U.S. Marine Corps and its vital role in America's military history. Cadmus Publishing Group hardcover
