Eighteen houses comprise Officers Row; each was home to an officer and his family. Traditionally, officers' homes faced toward the parade ground. Here however, army architects placed them facing Sandy Hook Bay to take advantage of the cool summer breezes and the splendid evening sunsets.

Fort Hancock was in operation from 1895 to 1974.
