The central core of the cantonment was surrounded by the support buildings and stables.
Each set of four enlisted barracks faced a separate large parade field while the three officers' quarters were positioned at the head and foot of the parade areas.
The post was declared surplus in 1819 and sold to private parties in 1831.
CURRENT STATUS
It is private property in East Greenbush, Renssalear County, New York.
One building, an officers' quarters, remains and is converted into apartments. The Red Mill School now occupies the grand parade grounds.
