Army engineers began mapping the Bay Area in detail. In 1863, H.W. Halleck, the General-in-Chief of the Army, issued an order to install ten to twenty guns at Points Stuart, Knox, and Blunt. By September 12, Company B of the Third Artillery, consisting of fifty men and one officer, landed on Angel Island. The new Army post, an artillery garrison, was christened Camp Reynolds (West Garrison). Dwellings and structures owned by civilians, such as a sandstone quarry on the east side of the island, were seized in 1867 for use in construction projects. During the 1860s, the Army continued to develop Camp Reynolds, including its hospital. Over the next forty years, the Army’s construction program centered on artillery batteries, and discharge and detention camps, as well as on the enlargement of the post. In the 1870s, an extensive initiative on the part of the US Army included construction of the new-style batteries and large-caliber mortars that formed Angel Island’s defenses.

Officer's quarters (Buildings 43 and 44-45) are from the Civil War period (1863) is are still standing at the site. Most other structures on the site are post-Civil War.
